Behold The Locus is a collective of Dubai based musicians-a ‘revolving door’ if you will where Members don’t quit-they exit to make way for someone else to share the Locus experience!

Locus (Latin for Place) is an indirect tribute to Dubai where the band members have spent many a year working day jobs and confronting their alter ego(s) at night.

Behold The Locus started with guitarist and songwriter Fabian Martin playing solo at the Central Perk Acoustic jams organized by Dubai Lime, with the progress of the Original Music scene Venues got bigger and the need to form a band started….

The line-up has changed several times since its inception in 2006 and the current line-up includes Fabian Martin (Guitar/Song writer) Alistair Terry (Bass Guitar) and Ronnie Lazala (Vocals)

The band does not subscribe to a particular genre and label themselves ‘Musique sans Frontieres’

Band Members Fabian was introduced to The Beatles as a kid and formed his first band at the age of 13 playing Punk versions of classic Beatles tunes; he started Behold The Locus as a solo project in 2006 after many failed attempts to form a Band in Dubai. Fabian collects Retro Guitars and boasts of a Fender Jaguar, Gretsch Electromatic, Squier Duo Sonic and an Epiphone Korina Flying V.

Alistair’s musical journey began when he picked up the guitar at the age of 15. His influence includes Jaco Pastorius, Sting, Billy Sheehan and Abraham Laboriel and prefers playing a five- string over a four-string bass. He has a great sense of Humor and admits to once waiting an hour for a taxi forgetting that he bought a car the week before.

Ronnie is the oldest in the band and a force to be reckoned with, when he’s not singing he’s doing sports, when he’s not doing sports he’s playing guitar. He is just as comfortable crooning Bruno Mars as he is growling to As I Lay dying.
