FROM THE MUSIC LIBRARY OF A NATIONAL RADIO NETWORK. NOT SOLD TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ARTIST INFO: THE FIXX BIO/INFO-In the early 1980s, the Fixx became a fixture on the American pop charts. One of many British New Wave bands that conquered the airwaves in the United States at the time, the Fixx stood out for their echoing vocals, political lyrics, and richly textured production. From 1982 through 1984, they released a string of hit albums and singles, but never endeared themselves to rock critics. Their commercial popularity waned, though, as the decade progressed. Changing labels and producers didn’t help, and by the early 1990s, it seemed that the band might be finished. But being close friends, the band members kept in touch and resumed performing. In 1998 they released Elemental, their first album after a seven-year break from recording. Appealing to their hardcore fans and surprising some reviewers with its quality, the album showed the Fixx to be a band determined to persevere even if they weren’t the chart-toppers they had once been. The group came together in London during the late 1970s. Lead singer Cy Curnin had come to the city to attend drama school, after having briefly earned his living by winning prize money in fishing tournaments. At school he met drummer Adam Woods, and they became friends while working together on plays. Woods was in a band at the time, and Curnin eagerly joined. In 1979 the two decided to start a band of their own. In order to fill out their lineup, they advertised for members, recruiting guitarist Jamie West-Oram, keyboardist Rupert Greenall, and bass player Charlie Barret through the classifieds. After going through a couple of other names, their manager dubbed them the Portraits. They found some early success under that name, releasing the single “Hazards in the Home.” By the time they released their next single, “Lost Planes,” though, they had become the Fixx. They promoted themselves to veteran producer Rupert Hine by sending him a tape that his girlfriend liked. On her advice, he agreed to work with the group. Shortly thereafter MCA Records signed them, and the group went into the studio to record their first album, Shuttered Room, released in 1982. Their social and political views permeated the songs, including the singles “Stand or Fall” and “Red Skies,” a song about the devastation of nuclear war. The album did stay on the American charts for a year, though, even without any hit singles. The Fixx generated interest in America with their tour to promote Shuttered Room. By then, Barret had left the band and Alfie Agius had replaced him. Wanting to capitalize on the buzz they were creating, the group headed back into the studio with their new bass player to work on their next effort, Reach the Beach, released in 1983. During the recording, Agius’ personality began to wear on the other band members. In an interview with Lisa M. Bell posted on the Fixx’s website, Curnin Members include Alfie Agius (joined group, 1982; left group, 1983), bass; Charlie Barret (left group, c. 1982), bass; Dan K. Brown (joined group, 1983; left group, 1991), bass; Cy Cumin (born on December 13, 1957, in England), vocals, keyboards; Rupert Greenall, keyboards; Chris Tait (joined group, 1991), bass; Jamie West-Oram, guitar; Adam Woods (born on April 8, 1953, in England), drums. Group formed in London, England as the Portraits, 1979; became the Fixx; 1981; released debut album, Shuttered Room, 1982; released platinum-selling album Reach the Beach, 1983; began recording hiatus after releasing Ink, 1991; released first studio album in seven years, Elemental, 1998.
