Im sure this has been asked a million times, where is everyone from & how did you get into the Chemical Brothers?


I live in East Anglia now, Im 23 and have been into them since 1994 when i was about 9 years old. My dad actually introduced me to them, and took me to see them live i think in 1998 or 1999, I have never seen my old man dance like that.


I experienced my first of many things while listening/seeing them and still love em' today :D x

Whereabouts in Boro are you from?! My Ex is from Boro, I used to go there all the time!

I was even sick outside the empire after a bad trip, such a classy lady!

San Francisco, California, U.S.


I've listened to the Chems since I was 18, had a life changing experience seeing them live in 2002, and have been an avid fan ever since.

The Windy City, Chicago


I fell in love at first sight when the Star Guitar video was aired on MTV back in 2001 (or was it 2002?).

Glasgow, Scotland, but spending about 3/4 of my time in Hong Kong just now. Got into them in 1996 when I heard In Dust We Trust on a compilation cd. Was an indie kid, and this was a revelation. Picked up EPD straight away, and the rest, as they say, is history...

Aaron, 17. Derry, N.Ireland!


Only into them 2 years... but I'm a massive fan. I write music myself and they are a massive influence.


Seen them live 6 days ago.

Blew me away!

I think you young chemheads help big-time cause you guys spread the word faster about the chems music then older fans like myself and others who are going through the aging hipster days, kids,work,etc;)


But more power to you Dirtchamber, keep pushing the bros out there, whether its music,art, or writing. This will keep the bros around longer!

Laguna Beach, Califor-nigh-yay.


It's a long story and a rather personal one at that but I've been a full-steam-ahead fan since about 1999. Haven't really looked back since, because all I hear is the future.


And well said, inchemwetrust - the young chemheads always add their fresh enthusiasm... and more importantly they keep us older folk from getting too jaded. ;)

I'm from Kaliningrad, Russia (that tiny patch of land squeezed between Poland and Lithuania).


Loved the Brothers since I've heard DYOH near the end of 90s, first seen them live in Warsaw during the CWU tour (still my favorite one).
