The BLK Brother: uniting Johannesburg’s finest BLK JKS and The Brother Moves On

In 2013 South African alterna-rockers, BLK JKS and The Brother Moves On, met in Paris to represent their country in a show called “Rock in Johannesburg.” Although both groups hail from the same place, they found it hard to collaborate there, and found it strange that they were first uniting (and bonding) in a European capital. So to rectify the situation they put together a “dream gig” combining the talents of both bands with some special invited guests that include: Moonchild, Joao Orecchia from Motel Mari, Nosisi Ngakana from Kwani Experience, Neo Hlusku, Makhafula Vilakazi, and the Blk Diamond Butterfly Thandiswa Mazwai.

The show will take place this February 28th somewhere in Johannesburg. Want to find out where? Follow the hashtag #FOLLOWTHEBLKRABBIT for details in the lead up to the day!
