Update #3: We are officially over half funded!
Thank you all so much!
Just under 2 weeks left to go... haha we are starting to feel the pressure now.
We took the photo last night for the "Luxurious 8" x 10" photo portrait of our famous cat, Moonshine, being held by our robot buddy, Boltronix 5000" reward. Moonshine wasn't very happy about it but it turned out great!
enjoy....
Update #2: Almost half-way there!
Good News: Thanks to all of the early support, KMC 2.0 is nearly half-funded!
Scary News: We only have about 20 days left to reach our goal or we receive $0. Please spread the word if you can buddies. Community is what makes lofty creative dreams like these possible and we really appreciate you all!
I have a feeling this one is going to go down to the wire... iSi se puede!
Update #1: Hello Early Supporters!
WOAHHHHH!!! We launched this project just a little over 24 hours ago and we are already 16% funded! We weren't expecting to even get over $100 yesterday. Thank you all for your generosity and support!
Hopefully we can keep this ball rolling...
As a small token to show our appreciation for your early support, here's a picture of Moonshine sleeping on a bucket:
He's probably dreaming about driving Lamborghinis and going to fancy red carpet movie premieres... he's so "Hollywood" now...
Thank you all again,
- Brett and Courtney

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.
