Lady Gaga’s special guests on her Monster Ball Tour, the Semi Precious Weapons, played the Big Top today and lead singer Justin Tranter was in typical over the top dress mode.
“We don’t believe in festival wardrobe, we believe in life wardrobe,” pouted 6ft Justin who was dressed in a fashionable nude shade – white and nude fishnet tights, a white t shirt barely covering his modesty and large eyelet adorned leather jacket, with his trademark six inch heels.
“I wore six inch green heels yesterday too. A colour to match the mud,” said Justin.
“Jay Z was amazing – we danced the whole time. And we saw Marina and the Diamonds and Florence and the Machine.”
The band also played in the big top on Thursday evening for those lucky enough to be camping.
“John Giddings saw us open for Gaga at the O2 and asked us if we’d play his festival. We said yes but we didn’t even know where his festival was,” said Justin.
“Our manager came and told us “Now you’re playing the IW Festival twice”,” he laughed.
“This is our first festival and it’s been amazing. There’s a lot more people who know who we are than we thought. It was insane – there were so many people who knew our words and the album isn’t even out yet.
“We’ve had a great time. We’ve got to fly back to the US tomorrow to play Nylon Party in LA.
“We’re the new rat pack,” claimed Justin. “All rock bands take themselves so seriously but we’re having a great time.”
The Weapons are all Berklee School of Music graduates. “Our drummer (Dan Crean) has a degree in classical composition, which is a bit bizarre,” said Justin.
“Lady Gaga has been a huge fan of ours for four years. She’s so fun and exciting and secretly a very good musician.”
In 2008 Justin caused a stir when Kate Moss attended their gig at London’s Death Disco Club and danced with the outrageous blond bisexual singer.
