Laika
In 1993, Fixsen formed Laika with Margaret Fiedler and John Frenett after their departure from Moonshake. Fixsen shared guitar, vocal, keyboard, programming and production duties with Fielder. The band was augmented by flautist Louise Elliott and drummer Lou Ciccotelli, and later on, Rob Ellis. Laika produced four albums and five singles for Too Pure Records between 1994 and 2003. Since their release of 2003's Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing LP, little is known about the status of Laika. Fixsen had said the band is "taking a break" with about half an album already in the works and would resume before the end of the decade.
