England (1980 – present)
The Fixx is a British new wave band formed in 1980. The group was formed by college friends Cy Curnin (vocals) and Adam Woods (drums). The pair placed an ad for additional members. Jamie West-Oram (guitar), Rupert Greenall (keyboards) and Charlie Barret (bass) joined the band as a result. Barret left after the first album and was replaced by Dan K. Brown.
They are perhaps best remembered for their song “One Thing Leads To Another”, from their most successful album, the 1983 Reach the Beach. Other hits include, “Red Skies”, “Stand or Fall”, “Saved by Zero” and “Are We Ourselves?”.
The Fixx regularly tour the U.S., and recently celebrated 25 years of making music together. Curnin, West-Oram, Greenall and Woods are now joined by bassist Gary Tibbs (formerly of Roxy Music, The Vibrators, Adam & The Ants). Cy Curnin can often be found on stage with a glass of wine in his right hand and an egg shaker in the left.
The group is one of the few to have enjoyed significant success outside their country of origin, yet remain almost unknown in their home land.
England’s the Fixx has always been heralded as one of the most innovative and unique bands to come out of the MTV era. The group’s lyrics and melodies are artistic statements of darkness and light, painting aural soundscapes that are cerebral, yet touch the heart. The Fixx’s themes are complex, often introspective and thought-provoking, and yet the band’s musical legacy has appealed to the masses with three No.

One of my all-time favorites. In my humble opinion...one of the FEW bands from that era that could have had a career in the 60's as all...(when the competition was really tough).

I think they had a secret weapon in Jamie West-Oram who infused great guitar work in their tunes.

Tomebarns is right - really underrated. "Secret Separation" is a great song and never got the radio airplay in the States that it should have.
