New York pop-rock deities Semi Precious Weapons headlined CraveOnline's spectacular music showcase at SXSW this week, bringing out Lady Gaga and Odd Future in a night of amazing music in a packed house at Rusty's on 7th.

SPW's only SXSW performance in 2014 was a hugely celebrated success, featuring a set heavy on new material as the band gear up for the April release of their new album. As throngs of fans crowded the capacity room and Gaga cheered on from side stage, our Band of the Month for March showed all the makings of superstars on the rise as they tore through fan favorites and new gems such as "Aviation High" and "Drink". Below, check out a sexed-up version of "Cherries on Ice" from the show, exclusively on CraveOnline!
