Media_httpwwwpresentm_uukwa

"Valient Thorr opened a four-band bill at Liberty Hall under the Volcom Tour moniker. A five-piece hard rock band that formed in 2000, Chapel Hill, North Carolina-based Valient Thorr is well known in that area due to their persistent touring. Since 2003, they have had tour stops in Kansas City and in Lawrence.

Lead singer Valient Himself wore his usual red boots and, during most of the set, went sans shirt (both calling cards of his onstage style). Valient, who has great stage banter between songs, spoke of waking that morning and knowing that today's Lawrence show was going to be the best of the entire tour..." - read the entire recap and see all the photos on presentmagazine.com (more photos on pages 2 & 3)

Photos/Video/Recap: Volcom Tour 2010 w/Mastodon, BTBAM, Baroness and Valient Thorr @ The Knitting Factory in Spokane, WA - Seattle Rock Guy
"The goal since March has been to hit up a show somewhere beside Seattle once a month, and damned if I haven't made that a reality thus far without really thinking about it. #1 was Red Fang in Portland, #2 was Pierced Arrows at the Capitol Theater in Olympia, and now #3 with Mastodon, Baroness, Between the Buried and Me, and Valient Thorr in Spokane, WA. The venue was The Knitting Factory, and even though the place is part of a corporate chain of venues it was super impressive. Huge stage, video screens, pro lighting, spacious main floor, large bar with excellent site lines, and a large upper balcony area. The Knitting Factory had to be designed by someone who has seen a lot of shows in underwhelming venues, because it was great place to see a big metal show." - continue reading the excellent recap w/photos and lots of video on seattlerockguy.com

"Nothing like a Metal show to compliment the nice May weather in Spokane. The 2010 Volcom Tour was the best Metal show I have ever seen. It put Ozzfest, Slayer and well any other metal concert I’ve seen to shame. All the bands killed it! Some were so technical I would stand inside of the front row taking photos in amazement at the timing of the drummers..." - for more photos and to continue reading the show review, head over to checkitoutmusic.com
