It looks like it’s mediaChick‘s birthday today. If I was your DJ, I would put this song: Chicks on Speed’s “We Don’t Play Guitar”.

This is another fun and catchy song. The main chorus is “We don’t play guitar, we’re on stage with a microphone but we don’t play guitar! Can you play guitar? I said, we don’t play guitar!”

After about one minute, you’ll come to the conclusion that Chicks on Speed doesn’t play guitar.

You might be surprise to find out that their origin lies in meeting in Munich, Germany, at the Academy of Fine Arts. It seems that they are all art and fashion students. They got their name from passerbys who was looking at their artwork, commenting that the art looks like they were done by “chicks on speed”.

And you know what? Their DIY official website looks like they were designed by chicks on speed as well. It’s possibly even uglier than myspace! If you don’t believe me, go there and look at the bright pink, yellow, blue and try reading their news: IN ALL CAPS! Unbelievable, I think I’m blind now.

Anyway, this is a pretty awesome fun song. You can find out more details about this single on their website as well as download Sell Out from Labels (German).
