*PLUGS PLUS IS NOW AVAILABLE ON COS RECORDS AS A FULL LENGTH ALBUM
"Plugs Plus is the fourth album of the computer trio.
Based in the historic industrial city of Lille. other protagonists of
the international electronica jet-set scene also hop in for a visit,
on this masterpiece of a snap crackle and pop album! including the
great BLECTUM FROM BLECHDOM (two lovely ladies from California:
kristin Erickson and Bevin Kelley, who also released on Kid 606`s
Label Tigerbeat6), MATMOS (Björk-Programmer on her Vespertine
Release), KID 606, FELIX KUBIN and LESSER. DAT POLITICS flash by the
way of music and leave you in a pixelated pop snapshot, of failed
flirt and gastronomy."

from the desk of juergen soeder, cos records, munich:
"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 Tolouse (with the help of Holger
Hiller) with GLOVE (TOBI NEUMANN and THIES MYNTHER), who were
recently involved with mixes of club hits like 2-raumwohnungs "sexy
girl", goldenboys "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 vaeth. ALTER
EGO turn "Fashion Rules" into a raving/rocking club-anthem. hot!


Tracklisting:


A1: Fashion Rules! (Original)

NEWS

we´re just on the last leg of our mini tour of europe, training it
most off the way. we´ve realized that we´re becoming a real band,
just by the fact that we now have more than a mini disc player to
carry in our hand bags!!!! bios festival in athens was pretty
memorable, not only because of the acropolis but the number of cars
in the city, there is always a trafffic jam, even at 4 in the
morning!  pan sonic and fm einheit played the best set i´ve ever
seen, with a poetic like classical thunderstorm of a concert, adult
were not to be seen, but heard in the darkness of their cool edged
electric electro set, managing to perform acoustically better than on
the cd!!   the best bit was when cristian vogel played the sheet iron
roof of the huge factory building the festival was in. le pulp in
paris must be the best place to dance on a friday night! lore from
dragibus was spinning all these really obscure french new wave discs
and mixing like an angel. this is the best club in the whole
world!!!!!! ether festival was definitely the highlight of the tour,
even though our collaboration with pan sonic was cut short, we were
able to try out some stuff in front of the 3000 capacity royal
festival hall. this was the first time that we did the "panasonic
ripp-off" on stage together. stay tuned as we hope the collaboration
will continue. jim o´rourke, iku mori, dj olive and kim gordon
presented a very crowd challenging experimental set to a less than
appreciative audience who partly yelled out english yobbo abuse. i
think they thought they were getting ripped off for their english
pounds?! this was the first time i met kim gordon, i won´t forget it.

whilst we were in london, we were invited to lecture at goldsmiths
college of art, we did a 1 and a half hour lecture, with slides,
music, singing, trying on clothes and showing videos of our past
installations and performances. it was very funny, i had serious
period pains and melissa was pretending like she was on speed and
kiki was watching us and laughing. the lecture started with question
time, with one bored art student telling us to get on with it, when
melissa tried to explain the problems we have with journalists, when
asking us why we are called cos! so it was a great start. we have now
realized the importance of lecturing at art schools, we really have a
big social task ahead of us.

our future lecture series will be titled  "we´ve come to bust you
out! (of art school)"
if you would like us to come and lecture at an art school near you,
please write to us at what@chicksonspeed.com, we will go anywhere!


i think that´s it for now,

apprenticeships with the chicks
we would like to thank all of you who contacted us regarding an
intern position at the chicks on speed building in berlin.
our assistant yvonne is presently contacting interested people and we
will be organizing apprenticeships on a 6 month rotation basis. we´ve
had so many responses which is great, but, because our building is so
small we can only invite 1 person every 6 months, but hope to be able
to invite everyone who has applied for the job!
