The growing success and the increasing official acceptance of Beijing's rising star band, Thin Man, is instructive. Thin Man, currently signed with Beijing's state-owned Jingwen and hardcore trailblazer Scream Records, has been a maverick from the start. The four-man band, led by singer Dai Qin from Inner Mongolia, has followed a unique strategy in its pursuit of success in China. "
