Hello,
I'm from Oxford, UK and have followed the brothers since DYOH came out. Saw them perform at Reading Festival in 1999 and they destroyed the place, affirming my love for electronic music.
I can still remember hearing The Sunshine Underground for the first time.... Wow.


Welcome you both! Glad you set your spacial controls to this observation point.

Welcome Shakermaker & Cbtje!

It's always cool to see the folks who've been lurking around get drawn into the conversation.
Are either of you going to be lucky enough to see the Brothers play this year?
Thanks! Yeah, got my tickets ready for their show in Belgium in August. Last time was in 2005 in Amsterdam and can't believe it's already that long ago.

Glad you signed up! From reading your other post, I'm happy to see you had a great time at Bill Graham. I hope you were able to  meetup with some of the former Coachella board members. When I was searching for videos via Instagram, I saw some familiar faces pop up for the LA shrine show.

Here's hoping after the NY show this August, we won't have to wait 4-5 years for a return!

yeah we had a good crew, it's unfortunate you couldn't join us. :-) I'm not holding my breath for their return though. I am really tempted to go to NYC to catch them there, but it's too close to burning man... 2024 here we go!

Keep in touch if you do decide on NYC. I got my eyes set on that date too!

Hi everyone, finally decided to join the forum with my husband's (actionjackson780) encouragement. Still fairly new to the Chemical Brothers, got into them when Further came out, but first found out about them during a trip to London when We Are the Night was released and the ads were plastered everywhere (I still have one of the posters). Since All Points East last month haven't honestly been listening to much else.

Psyched to be here   ;D

Welcome Metta to the forum family! Glad you could join us!



This is up there. Like, Star Guitar up there.

Hi Metta and welcome! Glad you enjoyed All Points East. To see a band play live really can have a huge impact on one's perception. For me, it was like that we Sigur Ròs. I guess I never fully appreciated them the way I do now until I saw them live. Jus the way it was for me at my the first chemical gig in 2005. It was glorious and a forever changing moment. It's sweet you both enjoy them alike. Can it get any better than sharing the same taste (in music)? Stick around and have fun on here.

Welcome to our little corner of the universe, Metta! So sweet to have you join your husband (and us) here. 😊
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Hi Folks - great looking forum here. Ive joined as Im clearing out some of my bits n pieces to fund a building project - a tremendously 'grown up' thing to do sadly but the time has come....
So, with regret Im going to sell 2 of my Chemical Brothers Gold awards, one is Canadian the other Australian. These are the genuine thing presented to Ed for Come with us (Canada) and Dig your own hole & Surrender (Australia).
Any idea wheres the best place to put them? ebay or a specialist auction? I have absolutely no idea what they're worth.
Thanks a lot
Simon

But I bet there's an auto mod filter that thinks I'm a bot

I'm not a bot
Not any more
Not since the surgery :(

Also chems are great, saw them in 2016 first then first Ally Pally show last year. Big fan of the boyos

My apologies. My bot-senses snapped in and obviously fooled me this time around. I'll resurrect your post. Welcome to the forum!

Hello! I'm Francesco, from Italy. Long-time lover of club culture and electronic music. Since the late 90s around festivals and clubs. Now, older, just some events of my generation djs (like Sven Vath, Fatboy Slim, Kevin Saunderson, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, etc...) and, of course, every year the Italian date of the Chemical Brothers tour.

Hi all.

Jus thought I'd drop by. Been a fan of CB since the very start. Found this forum and thought, why not. :)

Seen them quite a few times here in the UK.

:music
Yeah... x x x x

Welcome to our little Chems refuge! Hope you'll stick around and chime in!

Also, hello and welcome to Franz, Ray and Elcomplicado!
