SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS: WE LOVE YOU

"I can't pay my rent but I'm fucking gorgeous!" Justin Tranter sings tongue-in-chic in the Semi Precious Weapons signature song Semi Precious Weapons - adding during SPW’s forthcoming first single Magnetic Baby “It’s not my fault I look better in her party dress!”
Executive produced by Tony VIsconti - T.Rex/_Bowie/Thin Lizzy/Morrissey – New York’s Semi Precious Weapons are the new heroes of garage glam.
SPW frontman Justin Tranter is the last great modern rock star, the most lewd showman since Prince was king, a fiercely charismatic six foot tall platinum blonde 21st Century Boy morphing of DB as Ziggy, Iggy with a mad stylist and Freddie Mercury on the high notes.
Live, Semi Precious Weapons are in a class of their own. Imagine prime Bowie escaped from the lunatic asylum and parachuted into the middle of an amped-up Led Zeppelin and you’re getting some of the vibe.
Dig: Dan Crean jet black porcupine hair pummeling the drums like he loves ‘em and he hates ‘em, arms a go go, ladies man handsome motherfucker.
Cole Whittle, Black Belt bassman totally boss, a tender animal gone wild rampaging all over the stage with a mad grin on his mush.
Aaron Lee Tasjan the hippest guitar hero and sweet backing vocals… ah, the electric hillbilly, eccentric as a brush and as likely to appear on stage dressed as a piece of toast as to blow your fuse with a jaw-dropping guitar solo after riffing your heart out.
And! Ladeez An’ Gentlemen An’ Anyone Else!
Justin ‘Precious’ Tranter lead vox and ringmaster of this straight-to-the-vein rock’n’roll circus clad in some suitably ludicrous Tommy and Roy Couture creation, make-up by Jenny Brown just so, six inch high stiletto heels, provocative young maestro flaunting his cunning lyrics and contagious charisma, the new neon creature of rock’n’roll style with a voice to live for and a heart of gold and jewelry, glamour on a licking stick so yum yum and so ridiculous it shouldn’t be allowed [and won’t be, in some places].
The Semi Precious Weapons debut album We Love You – the most highly-anticipated album in the New York demi-monde since the Ramones first 12-incher – is released in the USA late summer 2008. This brilliantly kunty ten tracker will ruffle a few feathers in some places but those people need to be plucked.
The rest of us will get off on the most fearless new band on the planet. Glamour! Sexuality! Rock’n’Roll! Hit Songs! Incredible musicianship! Smiling people of all sorts. Be who you are.
Says Justin “Semi Precious Weapons is about everyone. If you love great rock’n’roll, if you love glamour, if you love a crazy live show or if you just love a good party, you are welcome and We Love You. Conservative, liberal, straight, young, old, it doesn't matter. If you are ready to love us, We Love You. Actually, even if you hate us, We Love You”.
Says producer Tony VIsconti “I’ve been waiting for this band for 20 years! Semi Precious Weapons are just incredible. The songs are powerful, glamorous and, frankly, dirty. Justin is – wait for it – beautiful. It won’t be long before they belong in your iPod”.
SPW will liberate America from the Formica society where the mainstream has been homogenized and made timid. They'll annoy a few people. Fine. They'll bring rock'n'roll into supermarket magazines like US Weekly, jostling Lindsay and Britney and someone's latest tit job. That stuff... and the hot hit SPW songs and these four gorgeous guys, garage glam rock'n'roll with a fuck you that smiles.
Already 80,000 items of Semi Precious Weapons jewelry designed and made by Justin have been bought at Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic . His jewelry company 'fetty' started as band merchandise and has now taken on a life of it's own with a high-end line at Barneys NY and Barneys COOPS across the country. Now his design tastes will be translated into a sneaker! DKNY has asked Justin to design a rock 'n' roll limited edition SPW sneaker that comes out any moment now!
Ah, Weapons of mass seduction. Says Steve Conte of The New York Dolls “Semi Precious Weapons are my new favorite band”. And Britain’s Emperor Of Pop, the celebrated UK music mogul Alan McGee – who discovered Oasis, The Jesus And Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and The Libertines – wrote in UK's The Guardian “Semi Precious Weapons are the most important band in America”.
It’s a Semi Precious World.
