LOS ANGELES — On Wednesday night, Travis Barker and DJ A-Trak
played their second-ever public show together — and although the set
was quick, it did not disappoint, featuring guest spots from Lil Jon, Kid Cudi and Kid Sister.

	Travis Barker, DJ A-Trak Play Hollywood

Performing in front of a sold-out crowd at Hollywood's Roxy Theatre,
the duo hit the ground running the minute they took to the stage. With
a set that lasted a little under an hour, the duo treated fans to a
medley of songs that included remixes by A-Trak (who also serves as
Kanye West's concert DJ), Barker's own remixes and new material.
Though there wasn't any interaction with the fans, the crowd
didn't seem to mind. Instead they stood and watched in awe as Barker
and A-Trak opened the show with Jay-Z's "99 Problems" and continued to
please the crowd with remixes of Nas' "Made You Look," Kanye's
"Stronger" and Snoop Dogg's "I Wanna Rock."
And just as the energy was peaking, fans were treated to a
guest appearance by Lil Jon, who took to the stage with his signature
sunglasses halfway into the set and performed his song "Outta Your
Mind."But as just as quickly as he appeared on the stage he was gone,
teasing fans and leaving them wanting more.
As the night went on Travis Barker and A-Trak continued to
perform an array of tunes, adding a little more of a rock feel to the
show with Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade,"
the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will
Roll." Each song lasted for only a few minutes before spilling into the
next. The set then transitioned into more dance-oriented material, with
songs like Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" and Daft Punk's "Robot Rock."
Not surprisingly, the set ended with a bang: opening act Kid
Sister returned to the stage, with Barker playing drums and A-Trak
spinning behind her. Wearing '80s-inspired attire, she pumped up the
crowd with some booty-shaking moves while performing her hit "Pro
Nails."
But when Kid Cudi took the stage, the crowd exploded.
Performing "Pursuit of Happiness," fans sang along at the top of their
lungs while Cudi jumped around the entire stage, high-fiving fans lucky
enough to be standing in front.
The show ended just shy of midnight, with A-Trak waving to and
thanking the crowd and Travis Barker handing his drums sticks off to a
screaming fan before walking off stage. As fans scattered to the exit
doors, VIPs headed backstage — including Amber Rose sans Kanye West.
