The Fascination is a three-piece comprised of a British immigrant, a native San Diegan, and a southern boy from South Carolina. They live in San Diego where they play music for hipsters who pretend to not like them… that’s how it works there.
They plan on success and fame and a following of millions. Selling their bottled sweat and locks of hair have proven to be the largest money makers so far, but in the future- action dolls, lunch boxes and bed sheets are all in the works.
The Fascination sounds like The Cure playing Oasis songs with just a pinch of Bowie and the Bee Gees sprinkled in. Their musical influences are: Manchester, broken homes, the Beatles, love, hate, chicks, Black Sabbath, 31G, Factory, and alcohol, etc.
The Fascination would love to cash in on the fact that they write catchy pop tunes cunningly disguised as “indie” songs. They would like nothing more than to own large houses on the beach that they never get to sleep in because of their hectic world-touring schedule. They would love to hear their songs behind some horrible poorly-acted break-up scene in the next big 8pm teen drama on Fox. They look forward to selling their souls to the corporate music machine in hopes that they will never have to serve another table again.
They are fully aware that there was once an all girl American vocal group in the 1960’s called “The Fascinations” formed by Shirley Walker and Mather Reeves who became moderately popular in the English “Northern Soul” scene of the time…. We sound nothing like them and have no “s.”
Oh, and they're all pretty darned good looking too, but let the music speak for itself...
