Refused to play final U.S. reunion set at the Fonda in November

Share

The Swedish punk band Refused reunited at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Annual Festival this year to rave reviews, beginning a run of dates that underscored the band’s importance - particularly its 1998 album “The Shape of Punk to Come.”

Now the quartet will conclude its reunion run with a show at the Fonda Theatre on Nov. 5. Unless the get an unexpected third wind later in their career, it will be band’s last U.S. date.

Refused’s genre-exploding hard-core approach incorporated elements of techno, post-punk and metal for a sound singularly brutal yet lively.

Their most recent L.A. date was a headlining turn at FYF Fest, where the band’s rowdy set was a highlight of the weekend.

Tickets are on sale at noon on Friday at $27.50 apiece. If you’ve missed its more recent sets, this is a must-see for fans interested in the intellectual exercise of deconstructing punk -- and for anyone who wants to flail in one of the most furious mosh pits of 2012.
