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".

Fashion Rules Lyrics

Chicks On Speed

Fashion rules !
You fashion people in your camouflage wear
You think youre really quite out there
But the fashions you wear, arent so cool
You really should go back your Old Skool
And Martine hides behind those stripes
The T-shirts, yeah, thats what she likes
Nicking off with logos at Cartier
The grand mister D, or Charlie some say
Dress up dummies for a little while
Crash the crash party in real Chicks style
Karl and his lens, like to watch
King of the Thing, but we dont give ahh
Guccis got the monopoly, fifty handbags
Its victim luxury, Voguefied in 0-1
Enough with that fake, its said and done
Fashion is for fashion people
Its hard to be cool if you dont follow these rules
Fashion is for fashion people
Get out there now and break the rules
Bless the dress, youre outta style
Youre a brainwash victim for a while
Off with their heads is what we say
Marie-Antoinette, its the only way
Youre a model and you walk the beat
They even told you what to eat
bacteria inbred in fashion schools
get out there now and break the rules
Fashion is for fashion people
Its hard to be cool if you dont follow these rules
Fashion is for fashion people
Get out there now and break the rules
