DJ Hell with ChiCKs On Speed
Warm Leatherette
(GO RECORDS No. 10 / EFA295607, Go Records, 7")
A. Warm Leatherette (Chicks On Speed)
B. Warm Leatherette (DJ Hell)

Produced by Tobi Neuman.

NOTE: a version of the track by The Normal (written by Daniel Miller).

"This was released in 1998, sold out pretty quick, and so another 500 were released in Japan under the label Pop Biz. The seven inch had hand made labels, each being stuck on by the Chix; as the hole had to be sealed, it was a virgin record (you had to break the seal to play the record.)" - CoS

Mäuse with Chicks On Speed
Euro Trash Girl
GO RECORDS No. 9 / EFA295597, Go Records
1998
* 2 versions

[lyrics] / [original lyrics] [2.]

Produced by Tobi Neuman.

NOTE: "A cover version of the Cracker / F.S.K. (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle) classic (written by Camper Van Beethoven), with two completely different versions coming out. One for the dance floor and the other for lovers of death metal. The Mäuse were Tex Rubinowitz and Gerhard Potuznik, and this track reflects their true hardcore love for music. Long live the Mäuse!" - CoS

The project was complete, when Gerhard Potuznik from Cortison Junkies also became interested to smash some guitars on his laptop." - CoS

Chicks On Speed vs Pulsinger, Gaier/Reents
Mind Your Own Business
(go7 / 7" / efa 29557-7)
15 October 1999
A. Mind Your Own Business (Original)
B. Mind Your Own Business (Patrick Pulsinger Remix)

NOTE: The Delta 5 classic, reworked by Chicks On Speed with Ted Gaier (Die Goldenen Zitronen) and Mense Reents (Egoexpress), remixed by Patrick Pulsinger.

"A truly punk cover version on one side by Ted Gaier (Goldenen Zitronen) / Mense Reents (Ego Express) featuring Chicks On Speed with most of the instruments played by all concerned. The flip side is a cover version by Patrick Pulsinger (Cheap), who has created jazz in the form of electronic punk coming to hysterical climax, reminding one of a CoS live act." - CoS

Image from cover

"Go breaks their 7" format because this baby just wouldn't fit. It has potential to do really well and would sound really good in an East Village go-go gay bar and at the same time have all the girls with big hair doo's dancing at the soda shop Kalooka, Kentucky. One side sounds like the pop house musical experience of Rupaul's Supermodel with a Sandra Bernhardt type of girly vocal and the other is a hard nasty rocker in the traditional Chicks style." - Bent Crayon

"This single's name is Arthur. Its full name is Arthur Whiskey 5. It's a split 7" with the Chicks On Speed (featuring Hecker, Gerhard Potuznik and David Carretta) c/w V/VM. It's limited to a pressing of 250 copies. The Chicks On Speed track was recorded live in the Lecorbusier Lounge in Marseille and it's part of the Monsters Project. Each band do one song each and both are damned lovely! V/VM's contribution is a tribute to one of television's finest comedy dramas from the last century, "Minder". Also see if anyone can spot the equally excellent comedians in there!" - Norman Records.

NOTE: "Chicks On Speed goes B52s. Again far from boring cover-version-business-as-usual. Again produced by Gerhard Potuznik and Ramon Bauer. Featuring 'Give Me Back My Man' from their debut album and three previously unreleased tracks."

"Some versions of classic trax from California. 3 songs with special male vocals by David Carretta (Gigolo Marseille) and Pelle Krogholt (Xart Hybrid Copenhagen). The production is pure beautiful mayhem with CoS and friends being stuffed into envelopes and twisted by Potuznik (Cheap) and Bauer (Mego)." - CoS

Fashion Rules (12") COSR8 / Chicks On Speed Records
end of June 2002
A. Fashion Rules! (Original)
B. Fashion Rules! (Alter Ego Remix)

B. remix and production by Roman Flügel & Jörn Elling Wuttke @ Klangfabrik.

"This is the long-awaited new CHICKS ON SPEED single. The first track from their next album. With a cover-photo of COS by the king of fashion KARL LAGERFELD himself (no joke)! "Fashion Rules" was produced by CHICKS ON SPEED in Toulouse (with the help of Holger Hiller) with GLOVE (TOBI NEUMANN and THIES MYNTHER), who were recently involved with mixes of club hits like 2-Raumwohnung's "Sexy Girl", Golden Boy's "Rippin Kittin" and Peaches' "Set It Off". And if this would be not enough, on the B-side we find a remix by ALTER EGO who recently dominated worldwide clubcharts with their own tracks, their Human League remix and their productions for Sven Väth. ALTER EGO turn "Fashion Rules" into a raving/rocking club-anthem. Hot!"

NOTE: there is also a limited edition marbled yellow 12" having a different cover.
