The Blow @ Great Scott in Boston
The Blow, recent NYC transplant Khaela Maricich's one-woman pop band, wrapped up a two-week stretch of tour dates with a sold out (and awesome) show at Glasslands in Brooklyn on Thursday (5/13). Also on the bill were Acrylics and Julianna Barwick (who played the National's High Violet Annex one night earlier).
Khaela performed songs that'll presumably end up on her forthcoming EP, which is due later this year. There's video of a new song and the Poor Aim: Love Songs tune "Come on Petunia" (which borrows a chorus from the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic") posted below...

Yeah, I'm definitely glad Khaela is in the area now. Good stuff.
And... was I right in assuming that the unnamed celebrity was... Lindsay Lohan? Can anyone weigh in on this?
Also - correction: the song from the video is "Come On Petunia" not "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic."

To tell you the truth, it's the first time I hear about "The Blow" - but watching the videos I have only one thing to say - a very talented girl, never seen something like this before...

Thanks for the link, Rachel. She's talked about working with Lindsay Lohan at past shows (http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2010/04/the_blow_is_liv.html) though it might just be part of the act. Also, the correct song name is pointed out in the post. Cool that she played “Hey Boy,” “Parentheses,” “The Long List of Girls,” etc. too
