Storia Di Musica #337 - The Fixx, Reach The Beach, 1983

La spiaggia del secondo disco di questa serie agostana di copertina che ritraggono un tratto di spiaggia è piuttosto particolare: un uomo, sembra faticosamente, cerca di raggiungere la corata spiaggia quando ancora è semi immerso nelle acque. Il disegno è opera di uno dei più grandi designer di cover inglese, George Underwood, famoso per i suoi lavori con i T.Rex, per David Bowie (di cui era grandissimo amico, e fu lui a ritrarlo nella posa leggendaria di Ziggy Stardust) e della band di oggi, i The Fixx.

La band nacque con il nome The Portraits nel 1979 quando il cantante Cy Curnin e il batterista Adam Woods formarono la band mentre erano al college a Londra. Insieme al tastierista Rupert Greenall, i Portraits ebbero un piccolo successo, pubblicando un paio di singoli prima di sciogliersi alla fine del 1980 e presto riformarsi come The Fix con il chitarrista Jamie West-Oram e il bassista Charlie Barrett. Il gruppo pubblicò in modo indipendente il singolo Lost Planes nel febbraio 1981, che attirò l'attenzione della MCA Records che offrì un contratto al gruppo. Tuttavia, preoccupata per le allusioni e le implicazioni alle droghe del nome, impone di cambiarlo, e la band decide di aggiungere un’altra x, The Fixx. Il loro album di debutto di successo del 1982, Shuttered Room, conteneva due brani che ottennero un notevole successo nelle classifiche, e che qualche volta capita anche di risentire in qualche emittente radio più attenta e curata nelle scelte musicali, Stand Or Fall e Red Skies.

La registrazione per Reach the Beach iniziò più tardi nel 1982 con il produttore Rupert Hine. Barrett era stato sostituito nel tour precedente da Alfie Agius, che iniziò le sessioni di registrazione come bassista del gruppo ma lasciò il gruppo prima che l'album fosse completato. Il disco è il picco musicale di un gruppo che parte con l’intento di inserirsi nel predominante filone post punk del periodo, ma lo fa con idee molti interessanti e un uso direi innovativo e singolare dei campionamenti e dell’elettronica. L’album inizia con il loro più grande successo più grande successo, il riff funky di chitarra e basso, di One Thing Leads To Another, una delle Hit dei primi anni ’80: accompagnato da un video di successo di MTV, One Thing Leads To Another ha raggiunto il quarto posto nelle classifiche pop statunitensi e la vetta delle classifiche in Canada. The Sign Of Fire segue sulla scia di questo interessante funk/dance, dai toni nient’affatto cupi come il nascente e contemporaneo Synth-Pop, brano caratterizzato da un movimento ascendente/discendente tra i suoi due accordi predominanti per un piacevole effetto ipnotico. Ci sono alcuni passaggi creativi mentre attraversiamo la sezione centrale della canzone, che è l'unica con la partecipazione del futuro membro della band Dan K. Brown al basso. Segue la spastica e sconnessa Running, tra new wave e alcuni passaggi più melodici. La futuristica Saved By Zero ha ambizioni più grandi e profonde sia dal punto di vista sonoro che dei testi: effetti di synth strategici che si fondono con gli abbellimenti vocali di Curnin insieme ai nervosi riff di chitarra di West-Oram. Dal punto di vista dei testi, la canzone parla della ricerca della semplicità con la perdita delle cose materiali "della liberazione che ottieni quando non hai più nulla da perdere". Opinions chiude il bel primo lato del disco, costruito sulla voce quasi a cappella di Curnin nella strofa introduttiva e su un arrangiamento musicale che emerge lentamente fino a quando la canzone finalmente si materializza completamente. Il secondo lato originale dell'album contiene brani più cupi e malinconici. La title track Reach The Beach è una canzone synth/pop guidata dal semplice riff di tastiera e basso synth di Greenall insieme a diverse sezioni sonore elettroniche. Liner funziona come una rappresentazione elettronica di funk e soul con Agius che aggiunge qualche abile basso slap e Greenall che replica una sezione di fiati sul synth. Privilege si ispira chiaramente al rock elettronico tedesco di qualche anno prima, Outside è guidata dal ritmo costante alla batteria di Woods. Questo funge da spina dorsale per il riff di chitarra lento di Jamie West-Oram e la voce solista piena di sentimento di Curnin.

Reach the Beach ha raggiunto il picco nella Top 10 delle classifiche degli album di Billboard e alla fine è stato certificato multi-platino con vendite milionarie. Il gruppo continuò con un modesto successo fino alla fine degli anni '80 e fino agli anni '90, ma non raggiunse mai più le vette commerciali di questo album. Curnin e West-Oram suoneranno nelle canzoni I Might Have Been Queen e Better Be Good To Me nel disco di Tina Turner del 1984 Private Dancer. Nello stesso anno nel videoclip di una loro canzone, Are We Ourselves?, dal disco Phantoms, apparirà per la prima volta in assoluto un telefono cellulare (una versione modificata di un Motorola KR999). Un loro brano, Deeper And Deeper, farà parte della colonna sonora del film Streets Of Fire del 1985. Sono stati un interessante gruppo, di quelli poco conosciuti ma musicalmente molto stimolanti (che è categoria tra le mie preferite, ormai lo sapete) e che in questo disco hanno dato prova eccellente delle caratteristiche di un genere musicale.

The Morality of a Paperboy

I was thinking about Rupert Hine while listening to his theme for Savage Steve Holland's Better Off Dead, when my thoughts drifted to the movie itself.

And I only just realized that I had the star of the movie wrong because despite appearances to the contrary, it isn't Lane Meyer (John Cusack) but a character known only as 'Paperboy (who according to IMDB was played by two actors, Joey Tushnet and Sabastian Dungan)' because he understood that sometimes it's the principal that counts, represented by his dogged determination to get the $2 he was owed.

And sure, it likely cost more in terms of time and engineering to attach skis to a bicycle than it would have to forget about the money, but like I said, it's a matter of principal and sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Jinkx Monsoon is among the newly announced cast members for Broadway‘s upcoming and reimagined Pirates of Penzance production starring the previously announced Ramin Karimloo and David Hyde Pierce.

Retitled Pirates! The Penzance Musical, Rupert Holmes’ jazzy New Orleans-style reinterpretation of the Gilbert & Sullivan classic is being staged by the Roundabout Theatre Company with previews beginning Friday, April 4, 2025, at Roundabout’s Todd Haimes Theatre. The official opening night is set for Thursday, April 24, and the limited engagement will run through June 22.

Monsoon, who will play Ruth to Karimloo’s Pirate King and Pierce’s Gilbert/Major General Stanley, is a two-time RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, and made her Broadway debut in 2023 as Matron “Mama” Morton in Chicago. In 2024, she played Audrey in the Off Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors opposite Corbin Bleu. Other credits include a Doctor Who debut as the new villain Maestro.

Scott Ellis will direct, with a creative team to include scene design by David Rockwell, costume design by Linda Cho, lighting design by Donald Holder, sound design by Mikaal Sulaiman, and dance arrangements by John O’Neill. Orchestrations will be by Joseph Joubert and Daryl Waters, music direction by Joseph Joubert and choreography by Warren Carlyle.

“We want everyone to know that what you’re going to see is a musical that celebrates the genius of Gilbert & Sullivan while taking some joyous liberties,” Ellis said in a statement. “The Pirates of Penzance actually premiered in several U.S. cities, including New Orleans, which was a big center for piracy. So, since our pirates have now landed in New Orleans, we’re adapting the title to be both familiar and fresh.”

In addition to Monsoon, the cast additions announced today include Nicholas Barasch (Riverdale), Preston Truman Boyd (Broadway’s The Play That Goes Wrong), and Samantha Williams (Broadway’s Caroline, Or Change).

The Pirates! cast also includes Kelly Belarmino, Maria Briggs, Eddie Cooper, Cicily Daniels, Ninako Donville, Alex Dorf, Rick Faugno, Niani Feelings, Tommy Gedrich, Alex Gibson, Afra Hines, Dan Hoy, Ryo Kamibayashi, Tatiana Lofton, Nathan Lucrezio, Shina Ann Morris, Cooper Stanton, and Bronwyn Tarboton.

The Roundabout synopsis: “Gilbert & Sullivan’s pirate ship docks in New Orleans in this jazzy-bluesy vision of the crowd-pleasing classic, in an outrageously clever romp sizzling with Caribbean rhythms and French Quarter flair. With the tongue-twisting Major-General, the rabble-rousing Pirate King, newly-imagined young lovers, daring daughters, footloose pirates and fleet-footed police, there’s a shipload of musical comedy delights on board to dazzle first-timers and G&S aficionados alike.”
