When last seen on a local stage, the mighty Valient Thorr was covering the songs of Funkadelic at Raleigh Undercover -- which was tremendous, sure, but no substitute for the Thorr crew just being themselves. Fortunately, we'll get a taste this weekend.

In a late addition to the club's schedule, Valient Thorr will play Raleigh's Tir Na Nog Sunday night before heading out on a tour that will take the group down to Texas for South By Southwest. And who knows what wonders may await there?

ADDENDUM (2/24/09): Current TV feature.
