Blake Schwarzenbach's new band get name, play NYC tonight

Following up on the exciting news posted earlier this week about former Jawbreaker/Jets To Brazil frontman Blake Schwarzenbach returning to live music with a new band, we have learned a few more details.



First, according to former Lookout! Records owner Larry Livermore, Schwarzenbach’s new band are called the Thorns Of Life; given Schwarzenbach’s affection for literature and poetry, it’s a fair assumption that he took the name from the poem "Ode To The West Wind" by 19th century poet Percy Bysshe Shelley.



Livermore also confirms the band’s lineup as being Schwarzenbach on guitar/vocals, Daniela Sea (best known as Moira/Max Sweeney from the Showtime series The L Word) on bass and Aaron "Cometbus" Elliott (ex-Crimpshrine) on drums.



The biggest news, however, is that the trio will be playing their second show tonight at a house party in Brooklyn; you can find more details here.
