One of my favorite bands from the 80's. The Fixx.
I saw them in an interview and they said that with a name like that they NEVER abused drugs.

7. Me too. The forth of July, I think around '83 or '84.
Saw the Moody Blue, Beach Boys & The Fixx at the Baseball stadium in Omaha, NE.
I was about 5 feet away from the Moody Blues. It was a blast.

2. I saw them in Boston in 82 or 83 at the Orphium theater
they were great. they had these screens on the stage with a semi translucent stretch material that the lead singer would stand behind and manipulate-after smoking a huge blunt that was quite a mind blower.

3. I also like The Fixx.
"Saved By Zero" (my favorite), "Stand Or Fall", "Red Skies At Night", "Secret Separation", "Are We Ourselves", and the ubiquitous "One Thing Leads To Another".

Great 80s band!

5. My brother had a homemade copy of their album
Made by a friend with bad handwriting. For years I thought it was called "Peach the Beach," a name I found highly suggestive.

6. I love The Fixx, even the bad stuff, they were excellent!
I was hoping they would surpass The Beatles even!
:thumbsup:
