Music: Refused Cap Off New York Gigs With Secret Show
By
April 24, 2012

Monday night in Manhattan, reunited Swedish punk band Refused played their second of two well-received and quickly sold-out shows at Terminal 5 – a venue with a capacity of 3,000.

Roughly an hour after the curtain fell at Terminal 5, the band was in Brooklyn, setting up their gear for a secret show at Acheron – a venue with a capacity of just 150. It was an unexpected and fitting salute to the fans from a group who never warmed up to keeping anyone out.

Here's how it went down...


"Line to the secret Refused show." – @ilovemisery

"Secret" refused show at the acheron. Now.

"Before the madness began." – @jon_yi

add 'seeing refused play in a 150 capacity room for free' to my list of reasons why living in brooklyn is great

After playing for thousands of people, it looks like Refused is playing a secret show for about 75 at a venue I'm at frequently, The Acheron

The crowd at Acheron – @yourgrandfather

Holy shit. Refused at Acheron. Swedes, sweat, and stagedives.

"Absolutely insane…" – @anthonycafaro


A clear shot from the chaotic show – @mistercarley

The Refused show was worth feeling like this today.
