Below is the latest Valient Thorr (http://www.valientthorr.com) press release:
Never mind fires, floods, riots, earthquakes or killer bees, Valient Thorr is coming. Hailing from the planet Venus, Valient Thorr is getting ready to set up shop in SoCal and now is your chance to see for yourself why members of Thrice, Underoath, Motion City Soundtrack, My Chemical Romance, Strung Out, and The Offspring are raving about Valient Thorr. Singer Valient Himself looks like a dangerous, bearded Jim Morrison, screaming like a banshee, drinking his own sweat, climbing stacks of speakers and playing cult leader to a fiery mosh pit. With a look straight outta the '70s, "these dudes have it all," Keith Carman of Chart Attack writes, "afros, stringy blond hair, scraggly beards, KISS T-shirts, denim vests and a sick obsession with Lynyrd Skynyrd." Come witness the mayhem that is Valient Thorr at one of their many local area performances.
10/21 Alex's Bar in Long Beach
10/23 Anaheim House of Blues with Gogol Bordello
10/24 The Knitting Factory in Hollywood
10/25 Jerry's Pizza in Bakersfield
10/26 The Scene Bar in Glendale
Here's what others are saying about Valient Thorr:
Backstage, Valient Thorr singer Valient Himself is splayed out on the pavement, but it's hard to tell if he's stretching his quads or trying to get more wiggle room in his bun-hugger leather bellbottoms. – MTV.com
…and Valient Thorr playing, well, it's hard to say. But it was something kind of scary along the lines of the Black Crowes meet Motörhead in tight trousers, bushy beards and lots of talk about the planet Venus. - Gil Kaufman, VH1.com
Speaking of Warped, it must be reiterated the best thing about this year's event was North Carolina band Valient Thorr. If you can get a copy of the Hawkwind meets Grizzly Adams rock band's new CD Total Universe Man -- do. It's even better than they were live. – Mike Bell, Calgary Sun
