Semi Precious Weapons

A banda que abriu pra Lady Gaga ontem foi a Semi Precious Weapons, um banda de rock (eu ate diria punk rock) comandada pelo vocalista um tanto quanto "fogoso" Justin Tranter. Carismatico e polemico, ele tambem eh designer de joias que sao vendidas nas lojas Barneys, Urban Outfitters e Hot Topic. De acordo com alguns criticos, eles trazem o sexo e o glamour de volta ao cenario do rock. Em uma das musicas, ele diz: "Eu nao tenho dinheiro pra pagar o aluguel, mas eu sou lindo!", que ate virou camiseta, distribuida por ele mesmo a plateia!

The band opening for Gaga last night was Semi Precious Weapons, a rock band (I would say punk rock) fronted by the fierce Justin Tranter. Charismatic and polemic, he's also a jewelry designer, having his line sold in major stores like Barneys, Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic. According to some critics, they bring sex and glamour back to the rock scene. In one of the songs, he says: "I can't pay my rent, but I'm fucking gorgeous!", which was stamping some T-shirts distributed by him to the audience!
