Theme Week: New Wave - The Fixx

|
The Fixx - Deeper And Deeper [Live]
The Fixx - Stand Or Fall [Live]
The Fixx - Are We Ourselves? [Live]
[From The Album "React"]
Why didn't The Fixx connect with audiences more than they did? The Fixx tour bus stopped for a performance at the Living Room in Providence, Rhode Island during the "Phantoms" tour - this would have been 1984. A bunch of us were eager to see them live and made our way to the front. The playing - top notch. The songs - catchy. The band - well, a little lackluster, and their vibe - not what we expected. Like Mr. Waternoose says, "It's about Presence!". We were let down and maybe the rest of the '80's fans were disappointed too. Whatever the reason, The Fixx might have a catchy back catalog (which doesn't sound all that dated to my ears) but they're mired in relative obscurity. Were the lyrics too dark? Too indecipherable? Too Political? Maybe it was lead singer Cy Curnin's lack of a smile. I'm not complaining, I still very much like "Phantoms", "Reach The Beach", and "Shuttered Room". They have a unique sound that both fits right into the 80's new wave family and stands apart from the pack. Where are they now? Visit www.thefixx.com and you'll find, as I did, that they have a new album out. Go figure. I always feel bad when a band I once liked is still around and touring. Like I've brushed off a friend. Has anyone heard the later releases? These tracks come from the official live release "React" which culls performances from two Canadian appearances on the Walkabout tour: October 22 & 24, 1986. "This lingering problem we have - of not knowing who we are..." - from "Are We Ourselves" - is prophetic I think. Enjoy.

as someone who grew up outside providence around the same time as you, me and my friends would refer to cy curning as "the most awkward man in rock".
