Mark Ronson and his live ensemble of musicians will handle house band duties at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas on September 9th. The Dap-Kings (also known as Sharon Jones’ and Amy Winehouse’s band) will guest, along with Stu Zender of Jamiroquai and other still-to-be-announced vocalists.
