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

We always thought that we were not a rock n roll band but it sure feels
like rock n roll over here tonight
We dont play guitars x 3
We're standing on stage with our microphones, but we dont play guitars
Got the sherman up here with us, no we dont play guitars
We dont play guitars
Can you play guitar?
We dont play guitars
said can you play guitar?
We dont play guitars
We dont play guitars
We're standing on stage with a microphone but we dont play guitars
Got the Sherman up here with us, no we dont play guitars
We dont play guitars
We dont play guitars

We can go shopping in the supermarket but we dont play guitars
We shop more than other people, we dont play guitars
Can you play guitar?

Were standing in Tobi's studio but we dont play guitars
Neither do kiki or Melissa
