Encyclopedia
The Fixx is an English
rock band formed in London in 1979. Their hits include "One Thing Leads to Another
," "Red Skies," "Stand or Fall," "Saved by Zero
," "Sign of Fire," "Are We Ourselves?," "Secret Separation," "Driven Out," "How Much Is Enough?," and "Deeper and Deeper," which was featured on the soundtrack of Streets of Fire
.
on vocals and Adam Woods on drums formed the group in London in 1979, initially calling themselves The Portraits. The pair placed an ad for additional members, and recruited keyboardist Rupert Greenall, guitarist Tony McGrail and bassist Charlie Barret. Under the name The Portraits the band issued two singles for Ariola Records
: "Little Women" (1979), and "Hazards In The Home" (1980). Neither single charted.
Later in 1980, McGrail left. At this point, the band added guitarist Jamie West-Oram (formerly of Phillip Rambow's band) and changed their name to The Fix. This iteration of the band recorded for 101 Records, releasing their first single ("Lost Planes") in February 1981. This track, along with several live tracks issued by 101 on various compilations, received some radio exposure on the BBC
.
The Fix's raised profile eventually led to the group being offered a contract by MCA Records
. Worried about the potential drug-user implication of the band's name, MCA insisted on a name change before signing them to the label. A compromise was reached as the band altered the spelling of their name to The Fixx, and a deal was duly inked.
, in 1982. This album featured the band's initial hits, "Stand or Fall" and "Red Skies," both of which charted in the US and the UK, albeit outside of the top 50. (They would be the band's only charting singles ever in the UK.) The band found particular success in Canada, where "Stand or Fall" was a top 10 hit.
Barret was replaced on bass by Alfie Agius for the Shuttered Room tour. Agius' stay in the band was short-lived, though, as he left during the 1983 recording of their next album Reach the Beach
, after having recorded three tracks. Agius is credited as co-writer on all the album's tracks, but the group for this album was officially credited as a quartet (Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram and Woods).
Reach the Beach became (and remains) the group's most commercially successful album. Agius' bass work is featured on the album's first two singles "Saved by Zero
" and "One Thing Leads to Another
." Both these singles cracked the US top 40, and "One Thing Leads To Another" became the band's biggest-ever hit (#3 Canada, #4 US, and #33 Australia). Bassist Dan K. Brown performed on one album track, which was also the third US top 40 single from the album: "The Sign of Fire." Brown filled the bass spot in the Fixx for the subsequent tour, and was promoted to full membership status in the band.
The 1984 album Phantoms contained the hits "Are We Ourselves" and "Sunshine In The Shade." Another song from the period, "Deeper And Deeper," was released as the B-side of "Are We Ourselves" (and also appeared in an edited version on the soundtrack for the film Streets of Fire
). This track received substantial airplay on US modern rock radio stations.
In 1985 The Fixx recorded the song "A Letter to Both Sides" for the soundtrack of the film Fletch
. The next year they released their fourth album Walkabout, containing "Secret Separation" (#1 on Billboard Magazine's "Album Rock" chart) and "Built for the Future." The 1987 album React, containing both live and new studio material, was the last for MCA Records.
1988 saw their return with a new album Calm Animals
and a new label RCA Records
. This album contained another U.S. hit "Driven Out" (another #1 on Billboard's "Album Rock" chart).
The band returned to MCA for their next album, 1991's Ink. The album featured "How Much Is Enough?" (#27 Canada, #35 US).
In 2002, The Fixx performed a cover version of Nancy Sinatra
's 1960s classic "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'
" for a special album called When Pigs Fly, which featured unique remakes of songs from the 1960s through the 1990s.
In 2003, the band released their ninth studio album, Want That Life, with Gary Tibbs
, formerly a member of Roxy Music
, The Vibrators
and Adam and the Ants
on bass, replacing Tate.
Long-time bassist Dan K. Brown re-joined the band in 2008. The Fixx regularly tour the U.S., and recently celebrated 25 years of making music together, accompanied by the release of the 2 CD set Twentyfifth Anniversary Anthology
compilation.
With the classic lineup back intact, The Fixx are recording their 10th studio album "Beautiful Friction" due for release in spring 2012.
