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".

Hanayo lives in Berlin cos she says the rent is cheap
Couldnt afford that lifestyle, Tokyo´s too fast and steep
Juergen lives in Munich, that cozy comfy town
Got a nice BM that he drives all over town
Mimi lives in Hamburg, that fishy harbour breeze
She says its the best place in the world
And then she starts to sneeze
dean lives in London, does the music business thing
He likes to take girls to the park
And do that sweet, sweet thing
People and places, people in different towns
erkki lives in tampere, now where the hell is that?

Gave up all that fashion jazz and says that with a smile
