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".

Sell Out Lyrics

Chicks On Speed

Do it!, just do it!

exploit yourself just sellout, cash cards, just sellout
Do it to yourself before its done to you

Its the euro, dollar, the yen or rubal
Sellout is the aim
On the billboard, in the adverts, this is the big game

Exploit, sellout, poser sellout,
Cos were up for sale
This is steep not cheap and get in now
Before it all goes stale
Take back your Cadillac
Your bike, cab, train or plain
Jet set in poverty
If I walk its just the same

Do it

Adbusters, slashers, snipers
Cultural jammers, heyall
Paper tiger, this is your call
come with me lets burn down the mall

the world has gotten just so unbelievably commercial, right?
And people are starting to go a little bit crazy from it!
Theyve completely bought into it
And its been a hell of a ride
But now theyre reaching a saturation point
They think, maybe, theyre getting to the end
of this business of glitz and hype and you gotta have it
so we say, in a fact, yeah, your instincts are right
for the first time in forever, marketing isnt cool
eccess isnt cool.
we do a trend piece, not a think piece
but more of a package for four or five spreads
we built a package around these people
we turned them into stars

exploit yourself just sellout, cash and cards, just sellout
Do it to yourself before its done to you

For the cash
