LA-based live ensemble
Original music & creative interpretations of Beatles classics
Fascinoma is a Los Angeles-based live ensemble led by songwriter and vocalist Alanna Lin Ramage. The band performs original music alongside creative interpretations of Beatles songs, offering a sound that's warm, melodic, and attentive to context.
Performances are shaped by strong ensemble listening and an ease that comes from playing together in real rooms, for real audiences.
Fascinoma's songs sit at the crossroads of melodic pop instincts and left-of-center arrangements - borrowing freely from folk, indie rock, new wave, and jazz. The result is music that feels familiar enough to welcome people in, but idiosyncratic enough to keep them listening.
Melodies hook.
Lyrics matter.
Arrangements leave space.
At the center of the ensemble, Ramage's voice is intimate and soulful, sometimes etheral, sometimes sharp-edged - capable of tenderness, humor, and bite - always in service of delivering the song.
Fascinoma shows are shaped by spontaneity and restraint in equal measure.
Simultaneously attentive and unforced, the band responds to the music and audience as the performance unfolds.
The delicious intersection of tragedy and comedy in matters of the heart ... hardly gets tastier.
Kevin Bronson, BuzzBands.LA
What holds the audience's rapt attention is that mix of guileless innocence and remarkable savvy.
Franklin Soults, The Cleveland Free Times
She's got a ton of pure vocal technique, applied deftly to intense, emotionally charged songs.
