Apparently 80s favorite The Fixx are not only still around and making music, they’re on tour and coming to Santa Clara next week.

The band used to tour 100 nights a year, mostly in the United States, where radio kept it popular. This year, he says, with the dollar’s devaluation, it will have to do 120 nights.

The live show is rich with hits but also features unrecorded songs: one in a spacey Pink Floyd vein; another with a harder edge. The band has continued to produce sci-fi sounding albums, if not hits, a kind of dreamscape music Curnin calls “cinema for the blind.”

We’ll be taking next Friday off as a travel day, so going to a show Thursday night could work.
