Perez Hilton Tour (Semi-Precious Weapns) @ The Opera House, September 17

On Thursday night I went to the Perez Hilton Tour at the Opera House, thinking that I was going to see pop punk singer Ida Maria, but the show turned out to be nothing like what I expected ( in a good and bad way).

This concert was a part of "The Perez Hilton" tour which is to consist of Co-headliners Ida Maria and Ladyhawke and opener Semi-Precious Weapons. When I got to the show, they gave me a 5 dollar refund because for some reason, Ida Maria wasn't able to play. This totally sucked, but whatever, I was already there so I decided to stay for Semi Precious Weapons (I couldn't stay for Ladyhawke). When waiting for the bands there was a screen playing R&B and Dance videos, which I wasn't too happy with, but I lived through it.

Semi-Precious Weapons put on a rather weird but entertaining performance. They all dressed up in wigs and funny costumes and the lead singer even wore a dress (I'm guessing he is a future tranvestite, considering that he kept talking about an "operation"). Their music was a mix of glam-punk and garage music. They were bouncing around the stage playing like it was their last show ever. I actually really liked it, and it made the disappointment of Ida Maria not showing up not as bad.
