This week Minneapolis band Semisonic reunited after a 16-year hiatus (minus a few performances here and there) to play their 1996 album Great Divide in two shows - one this past Wednesday at the Turf Club and one tomorrow at First Ave.

It's also the first time the band has hinted that there might be a possibility of new music in the future.
