How Diplo, the Fader, and Bono's t-shirt company have turned the South African rock outfit BLK JKS into a profitable b(r)and without a record label. The key? "[M]aking the group comfortable with the concept of branding." From
Billboard: "The approach has paid off, guitarist Mpumi Mcata says. 'Branding has been and is ace, especially if they understand the band on a personal level,' Mcata says. 'It's mutually beneficial because people can feel the sincerity or lack thereof, which is important to us. So support from such folks like Edun, Converse, Fader and certain private investors whom we've met on the road, especially in the U.S., are invaluable.'"
