Chicks On Speed, S>C>R>A>P>S and Shooga

Chicks on Speed are back with a new daring style of Media-Art-Pop-Music. UTOPIA, the Chicks latest studio album, is scheduled for release in early 2014, accompanied by six interactive IPad App’s. To mark the occasion Chicks on Speed’s founding members Melissa Logan (USA) and Alex Murray-Leslie (Australia) will perform a series of live concerts in front of Australian audiences, accompanied by electro-drummer Erica Lewis. The album launch performances will see the unveiling of tracks from the new album, as well as inviting audience members to participate in the creative process on stage with the chicks, by live-composing and mixing audio-visual scenes via the Chicks on Speed Apps. UTOPIA was created by Murray-Leslie and Logan in collaboration with leading contemporary artists, activists, producers and a princess, including: Julian Assange, Yoko Ono, Peter Weibel, Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, Christopher Just, Oliver Horton, Angie Seah and Anat Ben-David. With a career spanning fifteen years, Chicks on Speed have explored and exploded the possibilities of music, art, fashion and new media performance, having collaborated with luminaries such as Yoko Ono, Karl Lagerfeld and Douglas Gordon. They’ve exhibited and performed at major festivals and key global cultural institutions, including the 55th Venice Biennale, Thyssen Bornemisza Art Contemporary 21, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Tate Modern, London and MoMA, New York. Courage is Courageous and Chicks on Speed are unafraid! U is for UTOPIA!
