Triumphant denim-vested metal warriors Valient Thorr will join Early Man and Monotonix on the stages of Bowery Ballroom this July 25th. Tickets are on sale. Full tour dates are below.

Last time the Valient Thorr was in town, they opened for The Sword at Bowery, but since then Valient Himself has been a little busy:

Just want to thank everyone all over the world for the positive vibrations…
My Earth father and I are both home safe from the hospital…
His new kidney is working perfectly and i am already feeling back to normal.

Valient Himself donated his kidney to his ailing father. If you can, pick up one of their limited edition shirts, where 100% of the proceeds will help recoup some of the costs for the surgery. They look like this:

In March, Valient Thorr were set to head out on tour with Turbonegro, but the tour was cancelled due to the health of Turbonegro guitarist Euroboy. It was announced today that Euroboy has Hodgkin’s.

Early Man‘s Adam has another band called Children. Children recently released the Death Tribe 12″ on Kemado (check it out here). Early Man‘s Mike updates his blog on the regular.
