The Blow @ Black Cat
Whether turning a showcase set at South by Southwest into a massive game of bingo or using a discarded water bottle as a prop onstage at the Black Cat, The Blow‘s Khaela Maricich has always had a flair for the theatrical. So it surprised exactly no one when she veered even further into performance-art territory last year, tailoring her sets to fit into an overarching, conceptual narrative. Returning to the Black Cat last night for the first time in three years, Maricich opened her performance by explaining that she had been tapped to co-write songs with an unnamed celebrity, widely understood to be Lindsay Lohan. According to Maricich’s fictional account, the songs that she was about to perform were all culled from Lohan’s scrapped third LP.
