[BLK JKS]


[IMA MAKE YOU A FAN]


The South African rockers BLK JKS[pronounced Black Jacks] were picked up by M.I.A. producer/DJ extraordinaire Diplo after he heard their 2007 vinyl-only 10-inch, while touring in South Africa. He arranged for the group to perform in the states last year, including a buzzed-about SXSW show. Soon after, Secret Machines' Brandon Curtis was introduced to BLK JKS and was so impressed he invited the quartet to join him in New York City's legendary Electric Ladyland Studios. The result: MYSTERY EP, BLK JKS' debut on Secretly Canadian out March 10.


The band consists of childhood friends Linda Buthelezi (vocals) and Mpumi Mcata (guitar)(pictured below), plus Molefi Makananise (bass) and Tshepang Ramoba (drums).
