Wow! Sit back and think about how it was back in 1983. No cell phones or internet to distract you! Just the radio to crank up songs like “One Thing Leads to Another” by the band, The Fixx. After hearing this song, it’ll be stuck in your head for hours!
It was 1979 when two college friends Cy Curnin (vocals) and Adam Woods (drums) decided to start a band in London. They initially called themselves The Portraits.
After adding additional members , Rupert Greenall (Keyboards), Tony McGrail (guitar) and Charlie Barret (Bass) to the group, they changed their name to “The Fix” after writing band names on pieces of paper and drawing names out of a hat. It was Adam that had come up with the name. ‘The Fix” was meant to mean “Focus” or “Direction”. In other words, “Fixing” your sights on something.
What’s interesting is that their record company wouldn’t sign them until they changed their band name because they thought the name had a negative connotation. So, they added two x’s and kept the name….The Fixx!
