*Description*:
Hard-touring, foot-stompin', guitar beatin, upright lickin, washboard scratchin,'  
banjo pickin' madness with a voice like the devil herself.

Charleston, SC-based duo Megan Jean & the KFB arrange a demented blend of gypsy,  
circus, americana, and the avant-garde that has been captivating audiences all  
over America. The pair met in New York City in 2004 and quickly became disillusioned  
with the music-mill mentality that dominates the concrete jungle. Feeling lost  
in the shuffle, Jean and Klay decided to sell all their possessions, quit their  
day jobs, and hit the road full-time, focusing on the Southeast. Fourteen shows  
turned into 200 a year and a newfound home-base in Charleston's burgeoning music  
community. While on the road, the pair forged their unique sound, which has been  
described as "...a wealth of gorgeous tunes that brilliantly [merge] American  
roots music with exotic elements of Euro/gypsy styles." (T. Ballard Leseman, Charleston  
City Paper) Calling the road home on a "never-ending tour" with an anchor firmly  
planted in the Lowcountry, this transient duo has taken DIY lifestyle and transformed  
it into a kind of Voodoo that unites scenes, fans, bands, clubs and musical styles-all  
without the help of a label and fueled by sheer guts and know how.

Their first full-length album entitled "Dead Woman Walkin'" was fan-funded using  
Kickstarter and released in November of 2010 on their own label Guts and Know  
How Records. Their sophomore effort entitled "Such a Pity," is set to be recorded  
in early 2012.
