Fixx - Reach the Beach .gif) By Tom Lanham
Quirky keyboards, quirky new-navey hooks, quirky showman of a lead
singer (the yelp-throated Cy Curnin)--in its mid-'80s heyday, few bands
captured the fleeting tenor of the chart times better than the Fixx. A
poor man's Duran Duran, the group was perfect for the nascent rock-video
age, perfect for the just-got-its-wings MTV, and it worked its datestamped
shtick well into the '90s. But the Fixx's defining album/moment had
already occurred in '83, with the breakthrough "One Thing Leads to
Another" smash, from a fairly solid sophomore album, Reach the
Beach. Although critics today might pan the record as fey and mawkish,
it won headline concert billing for an otherwise unknown London outfit.
