Lady Gaga has spent the last decade growing into one of the most well-known pop artists on the planet since emerging out of New York City’s rock/pop scene back in the mid-2000s. Another one of the slowly emerging artists to come out of the vibrant NYC music scene in recent years is Americana singer and guitarist, Aaron Lee Tasjan. The music of the two artists could be considered polar opposites at times, but there was a time when their two worlds collided when they were both up-and-coming musicians helping each other out with their music videos. On Saturday, Tasjan gave his followers a reminder of his past collaboration with Gaga, who appeared in one of his music videos back in 2009.
Tasjan had been part of numerous local rock acts before moving to Nashville to launch his currently-blossoming career as an alternative country artist, including The Madison Square Gardeners (Google them immediately) and a garage rock outfit Semi Precious Weapons. The latter released a self-titled, three-track EP back 2009, which featured the single, “Magnetic Baby”. The music video for the single was shared right around that time as well, and featured a wonderful plethora of semi-DIY footage showcasing the band’s primal, raw punk-rock sound. A then-relatively unknown Lady Gaga makes quite the appearance in the video, which was directed by future filmmaker and screenwriter, Pamela Romanowsky. Gaga, who was still sporting dark hair at the time, appeared at certain points throughout the video, covering herself (and others) with malt liquor and partaking in the wild, rock-n-roll antics taking place in the storyline. Fans can tune into the full video below to try and spot a young Gaga in her brief snippets throughout.

“Lady Gaga opened for my first band, Semi Precious Weapons in 2007 at a club called Rebel in NYC,” Tasjan mentioned in a post shared to his Twitter on Saturday morning. “She performed alongside her then partner Lady Starlight. I wore red ladies pants. Everyone kicked a goal that night.” Tasjan continued in saying, “She also appeared in one of our first music videos that our friend Pam Romanowski made.”
While the two probably won’t be touring together anytime soon, Tasjan began his 2019 world tour on Friday with his appearance at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida on Friday. His tour dates continue well into the spring 2019 months, which includes an appearance at this year’s Sweetwater 420 Festival in Atlanta come April. Fans can head over to his website for tickets and tour information.
