The Fixx arrived in the early MTV years sounding sleek, anxious and smarter than the fluorescent clothes surrounding them. “One Thing Leads to Another,” “Saved by Zero,” “Red Skies” and “Are We Ourselves?” gave American radio a British new-wave band that seemed to be reading the warning label nobody else noticed.
The group formed in London around vocalist Cy Curnin, keyboardist Rupert Greenall, guitarist Jamie West-Oram and drummer Adam Woods. Bassist Dan K. Brown became part of the classic lineup shortly afterward. Unlike many 1980s acts, The Fixx did not become one original member, three hired musicians and a logo traveling under emotional false pretenses.
Where are they now?
The current band still features Curnin, Greenall, West-Oram, Woods and Brown. They continued touring in 2026, including dates with The Smithereens and other veteran acts. Their most recent studio album, Every Five Seconds, arrived in 2022 and proved the group still writes about political tension, technology and human disconnection rather than merely replaying 1983.
Curnin has also released solo work and supported charitable projects, while the other members have maintained musical and creative work inside and outside the group. Onstage, however, the identity remains unusually intact.
Why the songs still work
The Basie Center’s current band profile confirms the five-member lineup, and a 2026 venue listing documented the continuing tour schedule.
The Fixx wrote songs about systems failing, people performing identities and information becoming manipulation. We thought those themes were stylishly paranoid. Then everybody got a smartphone. Apparently one thing really did lead to another.
