Cross the lyrical honesty of Bob Dylan, the soulful sentimentality of Johnny Cash, the relatable storytelling of the Grateful Dead, and an eclectic musical style along the lines of Wilco, and you get FXCTV. Emery and Fuller, who previously played together in the Indie Rock band Corsair, were based out of Atlanta, GA. Over time, their style of music underwent a metamorphosis in the direction of the genres of folk, rock and Americana, as the band naturally gravitated towards staying true to their southern roots, and FXCTV was born. In 2005 the band made the move out west to Los Angeles, their present home base, where they eventually added Jorgensen and Nunez to the mix to complete the lineup. Currently, FXCTV has released their first EP, are successfully composing music for television commercials, and have held a residency at the Cat Club on Sunset Strip for over two years.

From Campus Circle (LA)
"The Effects of Cable Television (FXCTV for short), a fresh new band that produces an exciting blend of country, folk and alternative rock, currently features singer-songwriter/acoustic guitarist Jason Emery, percussionist Jeff Fuller and violinist Mishkar Nunez-Mejia. Fuller and Emery’s southern roots contribute greatly to FXCTV’s fresh feel".
"The soothing, introspective “We Are Not Friends” highlights Emery’s stunning vocals. “Safe Bets,” though catchy, still sounds too intelligently offbeat for anyone to consider it “commercial.” “The Ashes of October,” a great country-influenced tune, showcases Emery’s wide vocal range."
"I would not generally consider myself a huge fan of the alt-country genre, but FXCTV has converted me. Seriously they are all great musicians and the songwriting is so much better than anything else I've heard in a long time. Unique yet catchy, fun to sing to, and it never gets old..."

"It's been a while since I have heard music with this type of honesty and clarity. The songwriting is top notch and sonically, well, this record just can't be beat!"

If you love and miss THE BAND, here's your chance to experience the next best thing! The THE BAND Band has been lauded by critics as being "as close as it gets to the real thing," performing timeless classics such as "The Weight", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", and “Up On Cripple Creek” from The Band's legendary repertoire.
It’s been 40 years since The Band played at Woodstock, and over 32 years since their farewell concert, The Last Waltz. But while The Band may be long gone from the stage, The THE BAND Band is the perfect remedy for Band-starved fans everywhere!
Thank you guys, your songs are beautiful!!! & yeah, love the Atma... we're actually playing with the Oblivious Driver next Sat at the Good Hurt & be happy to put you on the guest list, let us know. Will try to make your next show! Amitiés, Nanette
