The Blow
Every now and again here at Book Embargo, I like to spice it up. This time, we are going with music. The Blow is a band that my boyfriend turned me onto. One of their more popular songs, “Pile of Gold,” had a small contest that went along with it. Khaela asked for people to make their own music videos and then she would compile them so that at concerts, when she played the song, all the music videos would play behind her. Here is her video explaining her request.
The goal was to have 54 videos entered but alas, no. Regardless, my Justin compiled them for her and posted it on his own website, and posted it on Youtube. I give you the video.
The other exciting news, and why I personally am blogging this is that Justin and I went down to North Hampton Massachusettes (nicest little town with TONS of music shops and venues) to see The Blow perform. Keep in mind that “The Blow” is just Khaela singing and usually Jona running the computer. So anyways, the concert was incredibly amazing. Previous to the concert, I had not liked her songs listening to them on the computer. I have officially decided that The Blow and Khaela are my Favorite Live Band. She is HILARIOUS. She does mini-stand-up inbetween her songs. Talking about Kareoke and dreams of the coworkers picking up chicks. It was great.
Here is Justin and Khaela at the end of the concert. He has his new “Blow” shirt over his shoulder. In thanks for doing the video for her, she gave him the new cd. One of the FEW that he does not already have.
So long story short. Visit North Hampton Mass if you can, DEFINITELY go see The Blow, and buy all their albums.
