The Sunshine Fix
The Sunshine Fix is the solo project of
The Olivia Tremor Control's
Bill Doss. The name predates the Olivia Tremor Control and is currently in use.
Doss started the project while in high school, going as far as to self-release an album on cassette called
A Spiraling World of Pop, later re-released under the
Elephant Six banner. Doss then met up with Scott Spillane and
Jeremy Barnes, who later became the Olivia Tremor Control, and the Sunshine Fix moniker was put into hiatus.
Following the dismantling of Olivia Tremor Control in 1999, Doss began recording under the Fix again, releasing a single and preparing an
EP, which was released by
Kindercore Records in 2000, featuring members of Olivia Tremor Control,
Of Montreal,
Elf Power, and others.
In 2001, the Doss formed a more stable band, adding Kevin Sweeney and Sam Mixon, and released
The Age of the Sun on
Emperor Norton Records. A tour with
Guster followed, and they continued recording, releasing
Green Imagination in 2004.
The Sunshine Fix have released many albums and EPs on a variety of record labels.
