New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Vice Records) - Although we're disappointed that
Justice didn't win Video of the Year at this year's MTV Video
Music Awards, their video for the breakthrough single "
D.A.N.C.E." was up against artists some serious heavy-hitters such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, and Kanye West. In the end
Rihanna featuring Jay Z took home her own moon man.
Justice had hoped to repeat the success they had at the 2006's MTV
Europe VMAs, where their video for "
We Are Your Friends" trumped Kanye for the same title with the now famous sore loser tantrum.
In other TV news, Justice are currently preparing one of the most unique performances in late night TV history to come October 9th on Jimmy Kimmel Live as they kick off their full North American tour. More details to come.
Justice debut album eached the No 1 spot on Billboard's Electronic Albums chart its first week, are announcing a full North American tour this fall.
In case you missed their series of blistering DJ sets with Ed Banger labelmates or their live set at Coachella this year, be prepared. Justice are known for whipping crowds in to a head-banging, crowd surfing frenzy the likes of which electronic dance music has never seen before, 'turning ordinary dancefloors into mosh pits of positivity.'
