The Chemical Brothers emerged in the early 1990s, an electronic music duo consisting of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons. Alongside The Prodigy and Fat Boy Slim they made the leap from the underground into the mainstream on the back of the 'big beat' genre, and the million-selling success of their debut, Exit Planet Dust. Their second album, Dig Your Own Hole went stratospheric in 1997 and they have collectively, had 6 number one albums. Their original and incredibly influential but tiny residency was at the Heavenly Social in 1994. They have collaborated with a host of internationally famous artists from Noel Gallagher to Mazzy Star and Richard Ashcroft. This is the story of the band, in their own words, and with contributions from intimate friends and collaborators. The book will be fully illustrated with photography and design work from the archives. The Chemical Brothers have headlined major festivals including Glastonbury and won six Grammys. They are unquestionably one of the biggest electronic music acts in the world today.
