British techno act THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS have finally settled a
long-standing fight with American duo THE DUST BROTHERS - who threatened
to sue them for stealing their name when they first started out. The
SETTING SUN hitmakers - who initially dubbed themselves The Dust
Brothers even though the American duo had already taken the name - were
forced to change their name after the spat with the Los Angeles-based
pair. At the time the Americans were more well-known as high-profile
producers and since then have produced BECK's critically acclaimed
ODELAY and are currently working on THE ROLLING STONES' new album. Now
the two groups have buried the hatchet and are planning to collaborate
on a soundtrack for the film DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS, which is set to be
released in America in the autumn. Dust Brother JOHN KING met Chemical
Brother TOM ROWLANDS at their recent Los Angeles show. And he says, "He
was cool and said he was sorry about stealing our name." Awww - group
hug.
and if that wasn't enough:
INSIDER GOSSIP ON THE NEW STAR WARS:
...on the musical front, it had been announced that the SNEAKER PIMPS
have been signed up by STAR WARS producer GEORGE LUCAS to rejuvenate the
Star Wars theme for the new installments of the sci-fi trilogy. And the
British dance gurus are looking forward to giving the trademark tune a
new twist. Sneaker Pimp CHRIS CORNER says, "We're doing a drum and bass
disco version of the theme. We don't know exactly what's going on but
they're giving us all the parts of the original music, the strings and
whatever, and we're gonna do something with it for the next set of
movies."
