Chicks on Speed is an electropop group which started in Munich in 1997, after its members had met through the Academy of Fine Arts there. Grouped around Chicks on Speed is a large and ever-changing collective of musicians, producers, graphic artists, designers, film and video makers, and so on. Though usually considered part of such musical genres as electroclash, Chicks on Speed actually started as a multidisciplinary art group who applied punk-inspired DIY ethic to performance art, collage graphics and home-made fashion (they have created their own stage costumes with cheap and recycled material such as plastic bags and gaffer's tape, for example).

  • Chicks on Speed is an electropop group which started in Munich in 1997, after its members had met through the Academy of Fine Arts there. Grouped around Chicks on Speed is a large and ever-changing collective of musicians, producers, graphic artists, designers, film and video makers, and so on. Though usually considered part of such musical genres as electroclash, Chicks on Speed actually started as a multidisciplinary art group who applied punk-inspired DIY ethic to performance art, collage graphics and home-made fashion (they have created their own stage costumes with cheap and recycled material such as plastic bags and gaffer's tape, for example). They originally got their name when they earned some extra money at art galleries by hanging paintings on the walls and someone quipped that they worked like "chicks on speed". They had their own club nights at Munich's Bar: Chicks on Speed had created an installation piece which was called I Wanna Be A DJ, Baby, where they stood behind DJ decks and smashed records while a sound collage tape was playing. For this project they also put together a "box set" with a T-shirt, a cassette, a paper record and a fake interview for their "band", at this stage still imaginary. During this time period they met Upstart of Disko B record label who helped Chicks on Speed to actually get started in music. (en)

  • Chicks on Speed är en musik- och konstnärsgrupp från Tyskland bestående av Kiki Moorse, Melissa Logan (från USA) och Alex Murray-Leslie . Medlemmarna träffades 1997 på en konstskola och började anordna fester och upptåg under namnet "Chicks on Speed". Gruppen är verksamma inom många olika områden såsom musik, målning, grafisk formgivning och mode. Som musikgrupp har de turnerat i USA, Europa och Australien. På omslaget till singeln "Fashion Rules!" från 2001 samarbetade de med Karl Lagerfeld och till deras skiva 99" cents från 2003 inbjöds olika kvinnliga musiker att bidra, bland andra Tina Weymouth från Tom Tom Club och Talking Heads, Peaches och Nicola från Adult and Miss Kittin.

  • Chicks on Speed on Saksassa, Münchenissä vuonna 1997 perustettu elektronista musiikkia soittava naisyhtye. Yhtye sai alkunsa Münchenin taideakatemiassa opiskelleiden australialaisen Alex Murray-Leslien ja New Yorkista kotoisin olevan Melissa Loganin tavattua müncheniläisen Kiki Moorsen (yhtyeen jäsen vuoteen 2006 asti). Tuolloin Chicks on Speed lähti käyntiin taideprojektina, josta muotoutui musiikkiyhtye. CoS määrittelee itsensä kuitenkin ennemmin projektiksi kuin yhtyeeksi. CoS:n kanssa tekeekin yhteistyötä laaja verkosto muusikoita, tuottajia, elokuva-alan ammattilaisia, graafikoita ja muita taiteilijoita, ja yhtyeen esiintymiset ovat hyvinkin monitaiteellisia CoS:n suunnittelemine esiintymisasuineen, tausta-animaatioineen jne.. Logan ja Murray-Lee ovat julkaisseet myös kirjan, Chicks on Speed: It's A Project. (fi)
