Poney Club

The Chemical Brothers are an English electronic music duo formed by Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands in Manchester in 1992. They were known for their role in popularizing the big beat genre. Originally called The Dust Brothers, they changed their name due to the existence of another band with the same name. Their debut album, Exit Planet Dust, sold over one million copies and reached number nine on the UK Albums Chart. After signing with Virgin Records, they released their second and third albums, Dig Your Own Hole (1997) and Surrender (1999), both of which topped the UK albums chart. Their subsequent albums, Come with Us (2003), Push the Button (2005), and We Are The Night (2007), all reached number one and incorporated elements of neo-psychedelia, house, and pop. Throughout their career, they collaborated with various guest vocalists, including Noel Gallagher, Beth Orton, Bernard Sumner, Q-Tip, St. Vincent, Beck, and Aurora. Aurora has also worked with Rowlands to form the supergroup Tomora.
