Connected as Brett Bolton (561 friends)

Kid Meets Cougar is an “electro-organic” music collaboration between Las Vegas couple, Brett Bolton and Courtney Carroll.

During live performances, Courtney and Brett multitask on multiple instruments, trade vocal duties, and trigger videos to accompany their special brand of tuneful, loop-friendly electro-pop. Though they tend to switch instruments frequently, Courtney usually plays drums, keyboard, and auxiliary percussion, while Brett plays guitar and a set of home-made sound-triggering devices.

In order to visually enhance their music during live performances, Kid Meets Cougar also often treats video as another instrument to be played, triggering custom made videos with their music as it is being created.

Their first album, “For Breakfast”, was written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Kid Meets Cougar themselves in their home studio over the course of a year (roughly June 2008 to June 2009), and has recently been chosen as as one the of top 10 albums of 2009 by the magazine, Las Vegas CityLife.
