Semi Precious Weapons Serve Up "Sticky Champagne" at NYC Gig

June 28, 2009

The boys are back in town!

Our favorite glam rockers Semi Precious Weapons returned to NYC’s Hudson Hotel Saturday night for a blazing, high-heeled set that included never-before-played jam “Sticky Champagne.”

“Sticky with champagne, it’s okay, it’s your birthday!” frontman Justin Tranter screamed from the stage. (It actually was drummer Dan Crean‘s birthday.)

“Sticky” just might be SPW’s best song yet!!!

Spinning tunes before the set was Lady GaGa inspiration and resident DJ Lady Starlight (bottom photo), while Poison Ivy also caught up with our old friend Chet Cannon of Real World: Brooklyn (second to last photo).

Check out a snippet from SPW’s “Sticky Champagne,” below. Is this their best song yet?? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Semi Precious Weapons’ Rock & Roll Rager

April 1, 2009

“You all look fucking fantastic,” Semi Precious Weapons frontman Justin Tranter announced amid a performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Annex in SoHo Tuesday night.

“Luckily, no one looks better than me. If they did, I’d have them removed immediately.”

The glam rocker was performing at the launch of his very own Vamp Collection, an extension of his existing jewelry line, Fetty. And he got by with the help of a ton of celebrity friends.

Rock band Cinema Bizarre (on tour with Lady GaGa, top) showed up for the show, along with America’s Next Top Model cycle seven winner Caridee English. Project Runway season four winner Christian Siriano also came by, while Chet Cannon and Scott Herman from the Real World: Brooklyn chatted with Poison Ivy about their post-Real World plans.

Said Cannon:

“I want to do some music reporting, but I have to wait til my contract’s up with MTV [one year from now].”

“I also want to start a blog but I’m too lazy,” Cannon admitted, after we got on the subject of Poison Ivy.

Herman’s agenda is slightly different, with the reality TV star hoping to get into professional modeling or acting once his contract is up.

“I want to be a professional actor,” Herman said. “I want to be Captain America. I already have the shield at home.”

Tranter certainly felt like Captain America by the end of the night.

“I’m feeling amazing,” he told PI. “I feel like my brain threw up on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
