Maybe the coolest news we’ve heard about MTV VMA guests was the revealing of the house band: TRV$DJAM. While I realize this may not mean anything to you (yet), hold your horsies for further explanation, k? TRV$DJAM is the combined force of DJ AM and Travis Barker; AM spins the hip-hop heavy loops and Travis pounds the beats. Sounds good, right? Cause it is.

And check this: the dudes will be collaborating throughout the show with the likes of Katy Perry, T-Pain, Lupe Fiasco and the Ting Tings to perform new and old MTV hits. So what does that mean? Will Katy Perry do Katy Perry, or will Katy Perry do Madonna? Will Lupe do Lupe, or will Lupe do Jay-Z (omg)? And apparently there will be other special guests? Oooooo. Maybe they’ll bring out BEL BIV DEVOE? Will Marky Mark reunite with the Funky Bunch?! No? Ok. You’re right, I have to let go of 1991.

Anyhoodle, Trav and AM will be playing a few sold out shows before they hit up the VMA stage next weekend, and if you want to hear what they have to offer (Run DMC and Eric B & Rakim in one tasty track, or Johnny Cash in another - say whaaa) you can download their mix tape for free here … and read a little bit more info about them hereish.

  1. this would’ve been great to hear if you didn’t mention kp at all

  2. That would be dope! I saw something like that before with Tommy Lee and some guy spinning on utube. It was cool until a fight in the audience broke up the party.

    Travis will bring down the house.
