Chicks on Speed are a female electrogroup which got its origins in Munich, formed in 1997 after the members had met through the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. Chicks on Speed's core members consist of Alex Murray-Leslie (originally Nicki Murray-Leslie; born September 1, 1970, Australia), Melissa Logan (born September 9, 1970, USA) and Kiki Moorse (the daughter of the late film-maker George Moorse; born March 23, 1967, Germany). Around Chicks on Speed there is grouped 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, actually Chicks on Speed 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 gaffa tape, for example). They originally got their name when they earned some extra money at art galleries by hanging paintings to the walls, and someone quipped that they worked like "chicks on speed".

Chicks On Speed

open your eyes and see my face
slow down for me in this dirty rat race
you could be fat, you could be thin
wake up with me in a in the raddisson
Its two for one or one for free
get it now cos its a freebie
one, two, three, four
Im the one that you adore

99 cents

Im not crazy about money, but
I like what it can do
Shopping is a cultural activity
In this worlds nothings for free
Buy a book or buy a car
Look what a stud you are
Its not the what, its more the where,
Who you know and how

99 cents
luxury, the income tax of vanity

supermarket shoppers all over the world
Its not as cheap as it may look
rob you blind cos Im a crook
read all about it in john pilgers book

Rattrap, I see a rat trap
but the cheese I want the sleaze, sleaze sleaze so
jimmy up the street singing something great to the beat
goody goody boy, got you back in town
gotta go gotta go
gotta go gotta go
where is what with who and how
you want it fast you want it now
give it to me right now high and low
fun and free got loads of dough
life is fast life is cheap
got nothing to do but hang in the street
where is what with who and how
you want it fast you want it now
