Chicks on Speed are the antithesis of The Pussycat Dolls. The electro
collective, formed in Berlin in 1997, doesn't put forward advantageous physiques
or suave melodies. The five girls who make up the backbone of Chicks on Speed
propose a permanent restlessness, the collison of a punk/new wave spirit and
electro sounds. 2000's Chicks on Speed Will Save Us All attempts to save electro
from gloom and serialism, while 2003's 99 Cents is not an album on sale, but a
little gem with "We Don't Play Guitars" and their cover of "Wordy Rappinghood",
endorsed by Tina Weymouth herself.
