Reunion tours are a crapshoot. Most of the time it's just some folks getting back on the bus for a last-ditch attempt to rustle up some loot with whatever clout they have left. Other times it can actually be like old times. Well, sometimes.There were a lot of opinions tossed around about the reunion of the seminal anti-capitalist punk band Refused, and I'm not going to touch on them. I will tell you that Refused put on one hell of a show. One of my friends who was there said it was one of the best live shows he's ever seen, and he has been putting on rock shows for years. If you do get a chance to roll the dice on this reunion tour, you'd be a fool to miss it.

Cerebral Ballzy opened one of the two nights at Terminal 5, Ceremony the other. If you dive into YouTube you can also find footage of Refused playing a secret after party show at the Acheron in Brooklyn. It sounds like crap, but looks like a lot of fun.
