Valient Thorr, who have been laying low in an undisclosed location in North Carolina since returning from Hawaii at the end of 2008 where the band played some epic dive bars and front porches as well as learning to surf.
They emerged briefly in January to perform as Funkadelic for 'Raleigh Undercover', an event that revived a former annual Raleigh, NC tradition called 'The Great Cover-Up' that began almost a decade ago at Kings Barcade (r.i.p.), where local bands would work on tribute-act sets in secret that would not be revealed until the band hit the stage.
