.
Semi Precious Weapons are taking advantage of the three weeks between legs on the Monster Ball tour with Lady Gaga, to launch their very own headlining tour dubbed the "Dirty Showbiz" tour. The tour follows the recent release of SPW's album debut with rock world producer-kingpin Jack Joseph Puig (The Rolling Stones, Beck, Black Eyed Peas) and Executive Producer Lady Gaga, YOU LOVE YOU, on Geffen/Streamline/Cherrytree Records (now available in stores and on iTunes).
Semi Precious Weapons frontman, Justin Tranter, explains, "We get our work ethic from Gaga herself and who would want to be at home when you have a mission. Our mission is to bring rock n' roll, REAL ROCK N' ROLL back and we will be bringing it back to audiences all over the country before we head to Europe on the Monster Ball". Tranter continued, "The shows are "all ages" because we want to make sure that every kid gets a chance to experience rock n roll and is able to come and dance, scream and party during our night of filthy glamour on the Dirty Showbiz tour!" Fellow members of the Precious Empire, Breedlove and Lady Starlight will be "Special Guests" on the "Dirty Showbiz" tour. Breedlove will appear on all shows and Lady Starlight from Las Vegas on.
The band recently made International headlines when their epic performance at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago which caused friend and fan Lady Gaga to stage dive and crowd surf during their set with Justin. The performance has been viewed over 10,000,000 times on YouTube. Last weekend, Semi Precious Weapons joined Slash and the Smashing Pumpkins at the Los Angeles' 3rd annual Sunset Strip Music Festival and the performance ended with fans jumping the barricade and joining the band on stage for the finale of "Rock N Roll Never Looked So Beautiful."
