Brooklyn beauties, Semi Precious Weapons, are no strangers to The Deli, snagging “CD of the Month” in 2006, “Artist of the Month” in 2007, the cover in 2008, and reviews in between. However, in the last two years, the quartet has blossomed beyond most rock bands’ wildest dreams. Supporting Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour, releasing both an EP and “You Love You” within six months of each other, and rising to iconic rock ‘n roll status worldwide, SPW have become the 21st century “fab four.” In NYC for just a week for two gigs with Gaga, an exclusive after-party performance at Hudson Hotel catering to fans who were left in the sold-out shows’ dust, and as well as a short set and signing at Union Square’s Best Buy, SPW demonstrate genuine appreciation for their supporters. Consistently gracious, Justin Tranter (vocals), Cole Whittle (bass/vocals), Dan Crean (drums), and Stevy Pyne (guitar/vocals) spent some of their very precious time on the road to catch up with The Deli. – Read Meijin interview with the Justin Tranter from SPW here.
