Eric on their fans:
"A lot of people who see KFB for the first time ask, where have
I been, why have I not heard these guys before? Where can I see them again?"
"Our fans are very loyal, and we love their enthusiasm. We play almost every
weekend and we play our stuff. We've got to hand it to our hardcore fans and
the club owners who have been so supportive of us. They appreciate new music."
"You can tell the ones...bobbing their heads to a song they've never heard before.
I guess you could say we are the first "alternative roots rock" band.
We'll keep the dance floor filled for an entire set start to finish. Then someone
asks, "... who plays that last song?" That's a good feeling...when
we tell them it's one of our songs, we've got another loyal fan."
