Semi Precious Weapons is known as NYC’s garage glam rock heroes. Having only formed in August of 2005, their buzz and fan base would suggest that of a band that has been at it for years. Their outlandish rock and roll show is getting some serious attention from all types of New Yorkers, and after extremely successful east coast and mid-west tours this summer and fall, a sold out September NYC residency and with THE Tony Visconti (T-rex, David Bowie, Morrissey) producing new tracks for Semi Precious Weapons, the whole country is starting to catch on. Crazy teenagers, fashionistas, guitar geeks and businessmen who want to look at the freaks are all coming out to the shows and having an amazing time together. It is a Semi Precious World!

The word of SPW is also spreading very fast due to the Jewelry line inspired by the bands gun and heart logo that lead singer, Justin Precious Tranter, has created. The jewelry line is selling out all over the country at Urban Outfitters, and a high-end version is now being sold at Barneys, NY. The jewelry and the band will be featured in “Teen People,” “Marie Claire,” and “CosmoGirl” this coming fall. Forget J-Lo and P-Diddy, this borderline tranny is the new face of cross marketing!

The other exciting part of the Semi Precious Weapons story is their undeniable musicianship and songwriting skills, but who really gives a fuck about that! Whether its a costume change, a hit song, a vocal range, a guitar solo, or an on stage fight that brings the hundreds of people out to their shows isnt the point.
