As anyone who follows sport closely knows, the modern version of success isn't just something that involves winning championships and beating your fiercest rivals.

That's a long-winded way of saying that the Golden State Warriors are moving into music and have signed a K-pop artist. "We do storytelling, and this is just another form of storytelling," chief business officer David Kelly told the San Francisco Chronicle while introducing the label as part of a wider tranche of entertainment ideas.

K-pop artist BamBam is the first act to release music through GSW and will drop his track "Wheels Up" later this week after debuting it live during a home game against the Lakers. The Warriors have also signed a multi-album deal with Oakland rapper Mayzin, according to Kelly.

Bob Weir and Steph Curry, pictured above, probably won't be collaborating together but at least now there is a home for them if they decide to.

Zack Ruskin Though the threat of apocalypse has long loomed large throughout their discography, Arcade Fire’s driving energy has, by contrast, always been found in songs that invite us to embrace the full-throated catharsis that comes from remembering we’re alive.
