*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.
