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."
