Blake Schwarzenbach played two Jawbreaker songs during a rare solo set (video)

Jawbreaker at Jabberjaw, Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 7, 1993.

Despite cancelling his recent East Coast solo gigs this past September, Jawbreaker frontman Blake Schwarzenbach played a last-minute show at Characters in Ponoma, Califronia this past week, where he covered two Jawbreaker songs (including one for the first time in 20 years).

Before the inevitable “Jawbreaker Reunion!” posts start popping up, you might want to actually watch the below videos – these seem more like a fun (if mistaken-ridden) run through these two songs than any kind of pre-reunion practice, but we’ll have to wait and see. The setlist also included a handful of Jets to Brazil tracks, along with selections from more recent projects including Forgetters and Thorns of Life.

Below you can check out fan-shot videos of “Save Your Generation” and “Chemistry,” along with the full setlist, courtesy of Substream Magazine.
