Semi Precious Weapons Video Shoot – 1.22.10

Friday night was pretty nuts.  My boys Semi Precious Weapons are back in town doing a bunch of dates with Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall. They decided to turn the weekly Trash party into a shoot for their song “Semi Precious Weapons”.  I figured the song was called “I Can’t Pay My Rent, But I Am Fucking Gorgeous” being as that is the hook, but clearly I am wrong. Evidently it’s self titled. My fault.

Anyway, after hearing the song 25 times in a row Friday night I probably should be sick of it, but it’s a pretty serious song.  They have done a video for it before, and used it as the sound track to a Beatlemaniaesque promotional video. It was also on their first album, and their EP and I guess it will be on their next album too since they are doing a video for it and all… I am sure they are sick as hell of it, but that’s how the music industry works.  You have to promote the same 5 songs for three fucking years. It’s pretty awful, but at least it’s a rad song and I am excited to see the video.

I did a pretty epic stage dive off a monitor into a crowd of 18 year old girls. Everyone moved out of the way and I landed on my back but not before putting my hand into the lovely Suicide Girl Bettina’s face. Woops. Justin from SPW announced to the crowd that I had done that the last time they played Webster Hall and informed me that I had broken his friend Krista’s wrist in the process. I felt pretty bad about that since Krista is my birhday twin (May 29th, 1980).  No one broke anything this time, but my back still hurts like hell two days later. I hope it makes it into the video, but I have my doubts…

This gallery is pretty nuts because I was kinda using my camera as a prop in the video. I took several hundred pictures without even looking in the view finder.  I was just dancing and running around taking photos of anything. Everyone got super drunk and super naked. I think there was an open bar at some point because it was out of control in there. When the video was almost over and I realized it was after 3am.  I have no idea how the night went so fast when the only song we heard all night was “Semi Precious Weapons”.  It actually made for a great night. Everyone was partying as hard as they could to get filmed. It was one of the best Trash’s in a long time.  Party for fucking ever.

Check out the massive amount of NSFW pictures from the Semi Precious Weapons music video shoot for their self titled song “Semi Precious Weapons”.

Ps. Congrats to SPW for all the successes they have had.  I have known these dudes forever and I actually like their band unlike most of my friends bands. I just hope that if they get as big as I think they will that they will take me on tour with them or something and maybe they can help me pay my rent, because I am not quite as gorgeous….
