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.

PRESS
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."
