Update #3: New Videos Up
Hello Everyone,
As the kickstarter campaign winds to a close we would like to share with you some of the fruits of your contributions. With the extra money we decided to make some live videos with exceptional sound to help us in the booking department. As of right now it has proved successful. Last Monday we recorded 2 brand new videos at Charleston Sound Studios. Here are the links to them:

Jeff Hodges did the sound and were shot and edited by Joey Cox. The performances are 100% live. We are very happy with them and EXTREMELY grateful to all of you who made this possible. Thank you one and all.
much love,
Megan and Byrne
Update #2: The Album Has Been Completed!
Today we left the studio with a fully mastered copy of Dead Woman Walkin'. We are very excited to unleash it on the world. Thank you everyone who has helped us reach our goal. The kickstarter campaign will continue until October 5th. The album will be printed and in our hands by the end of October which is when all of our supporters will get their well deserved copies. We have gone over our goal and plan to use every single cent towards promoting this album. On Monday we will be going into Charleston Sound studios to film two live videos which will be posted up shortly. In the meantime we are still hitting the road and drumming up as much excitement as we can.
Did I mention that the album sounds phenomenal and we cried when we listened to the completed version for the first time?
thank you thank you thank you for all of your support. We love each and every one of you.

Update #1: We've Reached Our Goal, but we can still use your help!
Hello All!
Thank you so much for making this happen! We are officially over the goal and have been humbled and touched by everyone's support! Though we have reached our goal, we can still use any pre-orders or pledges from anyone who hasn't pledged yet. The overage funds will be used for:
-Marketing
-Videos (Studies now show that booking agents go directly to Youtube for booking, and we are drastically under represented in terms of video)
-CD Release Party Promotion
-Merchandise
-Tour Funds
We are so looking forward to releasing this album, and thank you so much everyone for making it happen!
So much Love!

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.
