The Chemical Brothers and Vampire Weekend both pick up gongs at the 62nd Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Dance heroes Chemical Brothers achieved a double win at the awards, taking home the Best Dance/Electronic Album for No Geography and Best Dance Recording for Got to Keep On.

The duo fought off competition from Skrillex, Bonobo, Rufus Du Sol, Meduza feat. Goodboys in the recording category and Apparat, Tycho, Flume and Rufus Du Sol in the album category.

Meanwhile, PRS for Music member Ezra Koenig was awarded Best Alternative Music Album with his band Vampire Weekend for their fourth album, Father of the Bride.

The New York band were in contention with Big Thief, James Blake, Bon Iver and Thome Yorke, but ultimately prevailed on the night.

The 2020 awards saw 41 PRS for Music members nominated in 25 categories and a further 44 members contributed to 18 nominated works across 13 categories.

Camden duo Bones UK were nominated for Best Rock Performance. Read out recent interview with the band here.

The award eventually went to Gary Clarke Jr. for his track This Land.

Elsewhere UK production duo Goodboys received a nod in the Best Dance Recording category for their smash hit Piece of Your Heart with Italian trio Meduza.
