Semi Precious Weapons resume their opening slot on Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour starting June 28th, and they are giving a pair of tickets away to every US show on the summer leg of the tour.

Cause I gotta.
I dig the boys in fishnets.
And the Pussy Wagon.
Can you spot Semi Precious Weapons?
The fashion world has lost it’s most beloved misfit.
I woke up to a text from a friend, letting me know Alexander McQueen was found dead in his house. He was 40 years old. I’m not putting a fucking bio up here, go to Wikipedia for that. Instead, I’ve put together some of my favorite McQueen looks/moments.
That’s all the adjectives I had room for.
Intr0vert may have reviewed Brooklyn’s dirty-glamorous Semi Precious Weapons back in November, but I wanted in on the action. So when the chance came along to interview them before their show on Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, I picked my jaw up off the ground, threw some glitter on and rented a sexy Kia Spectra to get to Rosemont.
From ditching their Brooklyn apartment and hopping on a tour bus that follows my beloved Lady, their lives have been turned a bit upside-down in the past year. Lady Gaga actually opened for Semi Precious Weapons, back sometime between being Stephanie Germanotta and a 23 year old woman with her own army of Monsters.
Sitting down on the bus with SPW, I was expecting 30 minutes of me being awkward turtle while they stared at me blankly, wishing for a legit interview. To my utter amazement, it was just the opposite. Yeah, I did have four gorgeous rock stars staring at me, but to my relief it was just 6 people (including Justin’s mom for awhile) having a conversation about rock and roll, tits, blood, glitter-you know, normal stuff.

“I CAN’T PAY MY RENT BUT I’M FUCKING GORGEOUS!”
Recently signed to Perez Hilton‘s label and even more recently signed to a huge deal with Interscope, New York glam punks SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS are a quartet of handsome gents burning high energy Rock N’ Roll that will sting your ears and tease your nethers. It’s danceably infectious AC/DC-meets-Rocky Horror swagger has been lighting up clubs for the past 3 years with fabulously filthy/gorgeous frontman Justin Tranter tearing up stages and after parties like a platinum-blond transvestite GODZILLA!
“I GOT A DIAMOND IN MY POCKET AND A GUN IN MY PURSE SCREAM SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS OR YOU MIGHT GET HURT!”
Rounding out the group is the unstoppable trio of Dynamite Drummer Dan Crean, Wig-Afficianato Guitarist Stevy Pyne and Bass Beast Cole Whittle using every inch of every stage at every show. As an exception to the rule, typically you would find an act that rocks this hard and dirty and looks this good to be light on real musical talent but SPW actually met at the prestigious Berklee College of music in Boston.
“STICKY WITH CHAMPAGNE, THAT’S OK IT’S HER BIRTHDAY!”
SPW will be doing 2 shows at The Viper Room in November: Friday the 13th & Wed the 25th. An excellent review of a trio of shows at The Viper Room last July can be found on their blog. A recent interview by Sunset Strip Ambassador and Buzzfinder Brent X. Mendoza with Lead Singer and Daytime Jewlery Designer Justin Tranter (Fetty) can be found @ TheSunsetStrip.com.
“HER HAIR, HER HAIR, HER HAIR IS ON FIRE! SHE DON’T NO WATER LET HER FUCKING HEAD BURN!”
Semi Precious Weapons are currently recording their follow up to 2008′s We Love You with Jack Joseph Puig in Los Angeles and will be opening for Lady Gaga on The Monster Ball Tour (LA Shows @ Nokia Dec 21-23).
“PUT A DIAMOND IN IT AND BITE DOWN!”
“ROCK AND ROLL NEVER LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL!”
Surprise, surprise a post that’s long overdue. Another thing that might not shock you is that I was at Best Buy at 10 a.m. the day the True Blood Season 1 DVD and soundtrack were released. That’s right, had to get it right then, even though I couldn’t watch it until I got home from work. And I also need to add to the ridiculousness of it all by mentioning I live a block away from Best Buy. I can’t always explain why I do the things I do.
Is there such a thing as coke flashbacks? I totally just made that one up.
I thought this was a pretty sick live performance. It was like my wet dream music fantasy megamix. The Boys were honored with the “Outstanding Contribution” award. Nice and vague. And I’ll be honest, Lady GaGa is totally my guilty pleasure. I don’t care if she made her outfit out of china plates, wears bows made of hair, or non-pants outfits. She’s fucking wierd and a little off-looking and I dig it. I dig her look, her songs, her videos…so there.
Brandon Flowers sounded like shit. But man, that was a rad performance. It’s the bloody Pet Shop Boys, sweetie darling.
