Named after the Soviet Astro dog, the band resulted from a union of talent: producer Guy Fixsen and songwriter Margaret Fiedler. Since the band released its first EP in 1995, Laika has been lauded by everyone from Brian Eno to Tricky and has garnered a cult following around Europe and the US. But then again, no one would dare argue against the success potential of a band co-produced by Fixsen. He had produced stuff by The Breeders, The Throwing Muses and My Bloody Valentine before starting Laika." Not me! Boy am i out of it! Haven't these kids heard of Mahler!
