We caught up with our buddy Justin Tranter while his band, Semi Precious Weapons, was in town to lay down some new tracks at the recording studio. He shared his pre-performance habits with us, discussed never wearing enough makeup, throwing up on stage, and more!
Name: Justin Drew Tranter
Age: 28 and proud of it!
Favorite ice cream flavor: When I use to eat things like that, I LOVED Perry’s Piece of Cake! But now I eat fat-free Yoplait and pretend it’s ice cream.
I’m from: Chicago
But I live in: New York City
And work at/doing: I’m the front person of Semi Precious Weapons and designer of Fetty Jewelry.
Right before we perform I: warm up, put more makeup on, take a shot of whiskey, and send 1 text.
While we perform we: try to kill ourselves.
Right after we perform I: warm down, put more makeup on, take a shot of whiskey, send 1 text, and go sell merch to gorgeous people who want to buy it.
The weirdest thing that’s ever happened during a show: Oh wow. That’s not fair, there are too many. I’ve had girls start fights with me, girls try to blow me, Cole‘s thrown up on stage a lot, um… wow… a boy with braces and a beard once made out with me by force, oooo… Kate Moss.

If I’m at a super fun party I really hope I have: My photo taken, and Krista Davies and/or Jimmy Knehans with me.
If I had a million dollars I would: Save 500K and then spend the other 500K on getting more famous.
If I were stuck on an island indefinitely I would need: Photos of Platinum Ann, and Stevie Nicks
