“Tranter is like Adam Ant, T.Rex's Marc Bolan and Ziggy Stardust wrapped into one, singing lead on AC/DC's ‘Back In Black’”
– Rolling Stone 2009
Justin Tranter's not like everybody else. “Why would you want to be like everybody else?” demands the Semi Precious Weapons front man. “Rock'n'roll is supposed to be rebellious, shocking, ridiculous.” The Brooklyn quartet is all that and more: Soulful, sleazy, celebratory tunes that rock as hard and stylishly as Justin swaggers. Voted “Best Band in New York” by readers of the Village Voice last year, Semi Precious Weapons is a band that's thrilled to say they’ve played all-ages gigs at CBGBs, but wouldn't necessarily feel out of place at the John Varvatos store (which recently took over the lease from the legendary music club). After all, Justin had a make-up artist before SPW had an A&R guy.
On the Perez Hilton Presents tour, sharing the stage with Ladyhawke, Ida Maria, Sliimy and Eric Hutchinson, Semi Precious Weapons are in a class of their own. The band is known for their energy filled, circus-like live shows, which LA Weekly describes as “gun-blazing bitch-rock. Weapons are a hybrid of Bowie-esque stage seduction and Sex Pistols-style insolence.” Before going on tour the band has written and recorded over twenty new demos as they prepare for the recording of their second album. Recording will commence in Los Angeles the day after the tour ends!
Intrigued? Take a listen to this free MP3 “Magnetic Baby” off of their debut album, We Love You.
