Cutting the Edge

Chicks On Speed are a group who met while studying at the Munich Art Academy in the late-1990s, they're credited as pioneers for blurring the lines between fashion, music, and art happenings in the tradition of Situationism and Surrealism.

Chicks on Speed´s founders are Melissa Logan (New York), and Alex Murray-Leslie (Bowral, Australia); who collaborate frequently with numerous artists, especially A.L. Steiner, Kathi Glas and Anat Bendavid. They're a band, a clothing label, a record label, a design team, curators, writers, professors and a 21st-century phenomenon.

The Chicks have been very busy in the last 2 years, filming videos, making art illustrations, organising Girl Monster extravaganzas, reading books, exhibiting all over the planet, making patchwork fashion collections (for Insight, Crystal Ball and Yoox.com), building high heeled shoe guitars, high tech super suits that trigger sound and video and other object instruments … and they even found the time to make this record.
