“We are Semi Precious Weapons from New York Mother-F**king City, and we hope you ALL GET LAID!"”
It’s hard to argue with a band who expresses such an impassioned sentiment. And audiences across the country ain’t fightin’ with the raw power and electricity that pulsates throughout a Semi Precious Weapons performance. Their message is clear - music can be dangerous, dirty, and fun.
Led by one of the most charismatic vocalists in generations, the Boston Globe declares that "SPW splits the difference between AC/DC and Queen, fronted by the fabulously fierce Justin Tranter.” The visual appeal of the band, who are masterfully thrusting sex, glamour, and loving violence back into the rock & roll spotlight, is undeniable.
With brash lyrics like: “I can’t pay my rent, but I’m f**king gorgeous,” SPW quickly drew a loyal NYC following and were ultimately voted Best Band in NYC by the Village Voice. During the self-made uprising of their filthy glamour rock 'n roll movement, SPW asked another NYC based rock 'n roll original, Lady Gaga, to open for them. This sparked a friendship that has continued through “The Rise of Gaga” and has culminated in these two uncompromising musical artists to embark together on one of the most talked about world tours this year- “The Monster Ball”
SPW’s album debut with rockworld producer-kingpin Jack Joseph Puig, was released on June 29th, 2010 & showcases the band’s unapologetic embrace of all things filthy, dangerous, and glamorous- in other words: rock & motherf**king roll. |
