One To Watch : Semi Precious Weapons

You Love You Released June 14

Semi Precious Weapons will release their debut album You Love You on 14 June. It is preceded by their self-titled debut single a week earlier.

The shimmering four-piece come with pedigree as the first signings to Haus of Gaga, Lady Gaga’s new Interscope label imprint. You Love You was recorded in Los Angeles in November and December 2009 and produced by the band with Jack Joseph Puig (Green Day / Beck), and executive produced by Lady Gaga.

Hailing from the same New York scene that spawned Lady Gaga, Semi Precious Weapons have been hand picked by their ubiquitous label boss as support on her worldwide arena tour, The Monster Ball, which returns to the UK for a second run in May/June. They book end the tour with performances at YOYO at Notting Hill Arts Club and the Isle of Wight Festival.
