It will just hurt for a while *tear*)
Semi Precious Weapons, Breedlove, Lady Starlight, & Nico Vega will be kicking off their Mini-US Tour tomorrow night at The Roxy in LA! You can still buy your tickets for that show HERE!
04/30 San Diego, CA @ Warren Field/UCSD (Ticket Info Coming Soon!)
"There is no better way to start a riot than with Semi Precious Weapons! The New York rockers finish their Japanese tour with Lady Gaga on the 19th of April and they start again with her in Europe on the 7th of May. Rather than going on a holiday, the band has announced some all-ages headlining shows in April. They will also dominate an arena near you as they continue to support Lady Gaga on The Monster Ball Tour in North America." - Artist Advocacy
Opening all dates, is "Rock 'N Roll Cabaret" artist, Breedlove. Check out some of his tunes here! Also Semi Precious Weapons just confirmed via Twitter that the amazing multi-media artist Lady Starlight will be spinning records at the starred dates below. And also performing is L.A. based rock band, Nico Vega, who have previously performed with Semi Precious Weapons at past shows.
"It was a night of champagne spraying, boob tapping, glitter heels and rock last night at the Semi Precious Weapons show at the Roxy. If you're not familiar with this NYC glam rock band yet then you will be. Their shows are not for the faint of heart but are blast for people who love them some fabulous, sexually charged cross-dressing, punkish pop and stage diving.
Known for their flamboyance, wild shows and rock 'n roll attitude, the band did not disappoint their fans on the left coast. Although they haven't even released a full length album yet, the group already has a huge following of adoring fans who dress up in gaudy outfits for their shows and know all the words to their songs. The Roxy was jam packed with them as Justin Tanter, the lead singer with a penchant for eyeliner, lingerie and hooker heels, incited them with his crazy stage stunts (spraying champagne into the crowd, wrapping the mic cord around his neck, putting a bra over his face while singing, etc…) and kept urging the ladies to "show [their] tits!".
Exactly what you'd expect from a band signed to Perez Hilton's label and will be touring with "LADY. FUCKING. GAGA", as Tanter proudly announced last night, on her Monster Ball world tour."
