Known as TRV$DJAM (you can download its new mixtape, “Fix Your Face,” for free at www.trvsdjam.com), Travis Barker and celebrity dj DJAM, have joined forces to perform together for fans and industry people with their new venture.
Three years ago, in the final countdown to Blink-182’s breakup, Barker reached out to DJ AM to collaborate after becoming inspired by the performance of a hip-hop DJ and a percussionist in New York.
“I was kind of apprehensive at first,” DJ AM told the Los Angeles Times. “I hadn’t heard his remixes and didn’t know how amazing a drummer Travis is. But we got together, I threw on James Brown’s ‘Funky Drummer,’ and thought, ‘Damn, this is fun.”
The will perform its third of three sold-out shows at West Hollywood’s Roxy Theatre tonight before going on to serve as house band for the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7.
Although both Barker and DJ AM have solo recording contracts with Interscope Records, the two plan to record an album together and tour as TRV$DJAM.
