In 2014, Peavy reunited with Manni Schmidt and Chris Efthimiadis, they decided to play a secret show in their hometown, Herne, under the name "Tres Hombres", and from there came the idea of the creation of Refuge, with the same Rage line-up from 1988 to 1993. The name Refuge came from one of the most known songs by Rage, "Refuge" from the album "The Missing Link" which was recorded by the same line-up. Peavy said in an interview that Refuge is not a professional band, as the band members have their regular jobs and families, so Refuge is more like an "extended hobby", for playing special events and festivals. Peavy also said Refuge would still be coexisting with Rage and the new line-up with Marcos and Vassilios.
