Margarita's may not be known for loud rock shows, but this weekend the Surf City bar is making an exception to welcome LOXSTEP, which features Surf City native Holly Fucili on drums.
Fucili said the idea to hold the bands debut appearance on the island at Margarita's dveloped from a conversation with the bar's owner.
The band's Tool and Linkin Park influences shine throughout tracks available on the LOXSTEP MYspace.com/locstep page. The sound has apparently gone over well in Jacksonville, where the band recently won a Battle of the Bands at Northwoods Tavern. LOXSTEP will appear in the final round of the BOB on March 10 - c.

LOXSTEP took the stage in a very difficult position: following up Zero-4. This band is a mix of newcomers and veterans. It includes former members of the band Rift, who were really beginning to make a name for themselves in the area before they disbanded. Now, they're back with the addition of a new lead vocalist.
As it turned out, Loxstep was the perfect band to follow Zero-4, simply because they are different. Good clean rock music with the addition of a very talented violinist stes LOXSTEP apart, and in a great way. They have already amassed a strong fan base that just seems to keep growing. Yet again, this is another band to keep your eye on in the next year. - Jacksonville Daily News

Bio
LOXSTEP: A standardized procedure that is closely, often mindlessly, followed. A band that has evolved under a Foundational plate that has been formed from Different Backgrounds, Beliefs, and Ideas; and has come together as a Unit of ONE to create the Ideal Music that will reach every person of all different Cultures and Beliefs in sending out the Perfect Music!! LOXSTEP (out of Surf City, NC) is a category creator for the entire music scene! With a very diversified compilation of members and influences LOXSTEP’s music is a mix between hard rock, alternative, rock, classical, and Celtic. A type of music that is not niche based but reaches over 80% of all music listeners. Backed by numerous professionals in the music industry they are developing a following that will spread continents in a short span of time.
Recently LOXSTEP has just finished their first CD titled “After the Fall” produced and recorded by Greg Scott at Matrix Recording Studios. With radio stations, A & R reps, and fans asking heatedly for it, the CD will be received very well. Currently LOXSTEP is expanding their fan base by playing farther and farther into the surrounding area and making plans to begin playing outside NC.
The five solid and experienced musicians that compose LOXSTEP are: Brian Beers (guitar), Sean Guerrero (vocals, guitar), Edwin Farr (violin, vocals), David Ledbetter (bass), and Holly Fucili (drums). The forming of LOXSTEP was not an overnight task. Founded in 2005 by Brian Beers, Holly Fucili, and Edwin Farr, EBH as it was tentatively called, was destined to become much more. After EBH added David Ledbetter and Sean Guerrero into the mix (and the purchase of a tour bus) the music was complete and a solid base for success was formed. The current career path that LOXSTEP is on will set the pace for every other garage band to follow. Currently LOXSTEP is looking for labels to help them distribute their music across the country and farther.
The bands that influenced LOXSTEP the most were Bush, Tool, Creed , A Perfect Circle and disturbed. They have been influenced in many different directions with the music, which is obvious in their sound. Musically LOXSTEP is set apart due to the dynamic use of the classical violin and the fierce rifts of the electric guitar.
In summary, “What does this mean for the music industry and popular culture in general?” It means GET READY! LOXSTEP has already gained immediate attention/fans at large venues in the area by impressing, wooing, and rocking crowds that had never before heard their music! Driven by a determined work ethic and steadfast focus they will make it; it is only a matter of time. And this is only the beginning!
