Fix Monday

Bio:

mondays are rubbish...

they come round too quickly and ruin your sunday evening. they remind you how much you hate your job and your boss. enter fix monday, four lads from leamington on a musical crusade to make your life better.

fix monday's thoughtfully crafted pop songs enter your head and stay there. with many musical influences including jeff buckley, elbow and queen, the band has developed a reputation for elaborate vocal harmonies, being known to step off stage and into the audience to sing unplugged, anchored only by a single guitar. this recently caught the attention of grammy award winning producer roger lomas who described the band's live performance and songwriting as "excellent".

not content waiting for a record label to sign them, fix monday created their own and signed themselves - through sherpa recordings the band released their debut single 'margaret peterson' on 1st december 2008, leading to several plays on tom robinson's bbc 6 music "introducing" show. a diy national tour followed, which saw the band playing to packed out venues, gaining new fans both locally and further afield.

an autumn physical release and plenty of gigging left their fan base wanting more. 2010 is set to deliver with new material, videos, a new release and yet more gigs.
