Chemical Brothers @ Coachella 08?

[Donaldj]

Chemical Brothers and Sisters,

Well, the dust has settled and the brothers are back in the UK, but many of us are still recovering from the Chemical Brothers U.S. tour.

Saturday's Nocturnal festival was truly majestic - one of the all time great Chemical Brothers shows that I've had the pleasure of seeing - and those of you that were there seem to agree. 25,000 people losing their minds to the sonic assault was a sight to behold!

Kudos to all involved and frankly the city of Los Angeles for allowing it to be proven that a mass gathering of dance fans adds up to a ton of positive energy and love. No violence, no bad vibes - just a generally wonderful night.

We also got to meet some of you from the MySpace and Chems website which was a real pleasure. I wish we had time to say hello to everyone, but it was a tight schedule as you know. And a big shout out to Whirly Girl - so glad we got to meet you guys.

Where to begin with the thank you's for making the tour such a success? Well, that would have to be the crew! Everything that you saw on this tour was a well oiled machine made possible thanks to the tireless (and often sleepless) warriors behind the scenes.

Other key figures in the success of the US tour we'd like to thank:

Gerry Gerard and Claudia Tarry at Chaotica Booking.

Glenn, Justin, Alison, Jenni, the two Daves, Scott, Jake and all at Astralwerks.

Richard Winn and all at Zune for their positive and artistically sensitive support. We couldn't have done it without you.

Rob Rudolphy at Media Travel.

Allan and all at Filter.

All the promoters at Live Nation, Jam Productions, Another Planet, Insominiac Productions.

The trucking and frieght folks and all the kind people that provided transportation.

But most importantly -

On behalf of Tom and Ed, thank you to the fans - old and new alike - that shelled out their hard earned money for tickets. The cross reference of types of people of all kinds and all ages was a potent reminder of what it's all about. We love you.


That's all for now - the boys are off to Russia for the first time and that's sure to be a historic time for all concerned.

Hopefully we'll get the Chems back sometime soon - I don't know about you, but I think Coachella is a good idea...?

Love,


Errol

NO WAY. SAHARA. If you really cant get you ass in that tent early enough, I say tough shit. mmm, although, it would be incredibly packed in there, but i wouldnt imagine more than daft punk was, and that really wasnt that bad. at this point, i really dont care what stage they play, as long as they are there. Ooo, and please oh please give me some basement jaxxxxxxx

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

The Chemicals WILL be at Coachella...why wouldn't they be? Haven't the played there like 3 or 4 times? Just put them on the main stage again....

i would like to think that, but also the fact that they have played 3 or 4 times leaves me a bit skeptical, but im rootin for it

If Perry Farrell can show up every year then the Chemicals Brothers are ok...

[brando4n82]

Another good point. Keep em coming!

[shotglass75]

Plus if it seems as though The Chemical Brothers want to play Coachella, Goldenvoice would be f*cking idiots to not have them there. A) They would piss off tons of fans (Tell me which dance fans wouldn't want to see Chems?) and 2) it would be a slap in their face if they weren't asked to play
