The Chemical
Brothers, Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands, began life as
history majors at a college in Manchester England, and
began dj-ing as the Dust Brothers at a club called Naked
Under Leather. Like others before them, they more or less
were forced to change their name in January of this year
because another outfit was already using their name in
the U.S. Not keen on the idea of calling themselves Dust
Brothers UK--like the monikers that the
"English" Beat, Charlatans "UK," and
"London" Suede were forced to adopt-- they
chucked the whole "Dust" thing and rechristened
themselves the Chemical Brothers. Probably a wise choice,
considering what their U.S brethren, The Dust Bros. did
to the early Beastie Boys stuff on Paul's Boutique. To celebrate the event, the duo named their debut LP Exit Planet Dust which came out on Caroline Records on September 12, a record that Details claims sounds like "Metallica doing Afrika Bambaataa covers." And they're not far from wrong. |
