Chicks On Speed prove they shouldn't be taken too seriously
To much cheering and encouragement the ladies joined us once more on stage for an encore of a few of their older favourites before the audience, a little over-stimulated and out-danced, slinked their way out of the Freo Arts Centre and into the salty night.
"On the song Utopia, we have a guest, Yoko Ono, because she was a big player in that concept of utopia with John Lennon."
“We want to play things on stage and a lot of times we can’t find them so we’re forced to invent or to find them.”
They will be lecturing, DJing and performing all over the country this month.
