Family Video wants you to dance like the world is ending.

The Charlotte, NC-based five piece fuses vintage synths, four-on-the-floor drum machine grooves and fuzzed out, angular guitars to craft indie pop songs that conjure up the likes of Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, and LCD Soundsystem. Anchored by frontman Josh Shabtai’s manic stage presence and darkly tinged lyrics, the band evokes the decadence and daring of a musical era gone by.

An NYC transplant (formerly of art rockers Controller), Shabtai moved to Charlotte with a batch of songs and hunger to get them out into the world. He recorded Family Video’s debut LP, Shades, with producer Danny Kalb (Ben Harper/Beck/DREAMERS) at White Star Sound outside of Charlottesville, VA. Shades is an 8-song collection that introduces listeners to the sound that Alt77 calls “dance music for public riots.

We booked PJ to play for our restaurant for our Sunday Brunch - what a home run! Loved the music, the vibe, the personality. PJ made a great connection with the crowd, generated great guest involvement, and made sure everyone had a great time. Our guests relaxed and lingered, enjoying one more glass of wine while taking in the music. 10 out of 10 for sure - we can't wait to have PJ back to share with our guests! Thanks PJ!

Frank Storm

PJ was absolutely terrific in every way....her singing tone, her music, her personality. She worked with us on the play list and she and my husband worked together for games with musical input.

Carlos V. Davis

Carlos was just awesome and exactly what staff needed for a retreat. It's been two weeks and staff are still talking about him and want him to come back. He was prepared, engaging, powerful in the message for us that truly related to what we do and how to move forward as a TEAM. The activities were not only fun but providing skills to better listen and communicate as well. We truly enjoy him and appreciate his time and willingness to come to Chapel Hill. Bless you!

Sabrina S.

I invited Carlos Davis to speak at an event at LPL Financial for our African American Employee Resource Group to speak about networking. Many of our members requested that we plan networking events this year and we wanted to make sure that they were well equipped to make the most of their interactions when these events occurred. Carlos did an amazing job of sharing his personal experiences and best practices for networking. His presentation was dynamic and thought provoking! He certainly captivated our audience from the very start of his presentation by sharing simple, yet effective, methods and creating opportunities for interaction. Our group members walked away feeling knowledgeable and empowered I am confident that attendees will be able to go out and successfully use the skills they learned from Carlos. We've received an enormous amount of positive feedback and several requests to have Carlos return for another presentation.

Marva F.

Carlos was a Dynamic Speaker! I was very Impressed with Carlos Presentation at the SEAD Event for Diversity & Inclusion yesterday @ Daimler in Ft.Mill. He was very Articulate, Enthusiastice and kept the audience engaged, along with giving key points that we can utilize in our Personal and Professional lives. I could tell Carlos is very Passionate about what he does and is willing to provide his Resouces and Networking tools to help anyone. Before meeting Carlos, I had heard nothing but good things from the SEAD Representatives I would recommend Carlos for any speaking Engagement. He is definitely someone, who lives up to his Book title, he will definitely " Stand & Deliver" his message to any audience.
