We Say...
Chicks on Speed provoke a passionate response — from those who love them to the Red Hot Chili Pepper fans who threw urine-filled bottles at them during an odd opening slot onstage in 2004. The band evolved in 1997 from a Munich-based art collective, with key members Alex Murray-Leslie, Melissa Logan and Kathi Glas hailing from Australia, New York and Germany. Their sound is defiant, fractured electro-pop, packed with homages to punk history. On this debut album, for instance, they completely reinvent Delta 5’s “Mind Your Own Business.” They do a sexually charged cover of “Kaltes Kleves Wasser” by ‘70s German girl band Malaria. And they turn the Normal’s “Warm Leatherette” into a Ballard-style electroclash nightmare. Moving from pop critique to their own moments of sheer melodic transcendence, CoS are a welcome force to be reckoned with.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
