Metal Injection

The Refused were supposed to play an outdoor show yesterday in Brooklyn, but then we got a halestorm and the whole city freaked. The concert organizers ended up cancelling the show, mid-storm (even though by showtime, all the rain had cleared) and people were bummed. The band sort of made it up, announcing a free show that night not too far from the original venue, except the capacity was maybe 1/3rd of the original venue, so many got locked out. I guess they had to just stay up and watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon like the rest of us. Alas, even though Frank had a seemingly life-changing experience the last time Refused were in town, it seems as though I will never be able to catch the Refused. It wasn't meant to be. Here's another video of their performance:

During the free show, the band was joined onstage by CroMags frontman John Joseph for the 'Mags song “We Gotta Know,” as well as Bad Brains’ “Attitude.” Here's a bootleg:
