ALAHOYUS BROLLUMS, BROSKEETAS & THORRIORS OF THE WORLD! hope Santa Klaus was killer to you all, and if he wasn’t- well, you may have been sitting on the wrong lap. This final week of 2Thorrsand9 takes us to Mill-E-Wau-Kay… as superbly and correctly pronounced by Alice Cooper. This weeks Thorrior of the week has been a tried and true Thorrior for quite a number of years there in the city of beer and the state of cheese. And when we showed up this time, he had a big surprise for us! Jake Thorr #2 (not to be confused w/ Jake [Wolf] Thorr #1 {the first true believer}) – Not only did his band Ahab’s Ghost open up for us there in Milwaukee @ the Times Cinema bearing his colors as usual, but he also went and got the BRAIN DRAIN tattooed on his arm forever and ever!!! That’s taking it to the grave jack!! you know what i’m talking about?!? Beers and Cheers to you Jake Thorr! do any of the rest of you have any new Thorr tats? send em in to us, and to all you Thorriors out there, have a safe and radical New Years. I think this is gonna be an awesome 2Thorrsand10!!
yours, Valient Himself

alahoyus to all! Happy holidays! this weeks very special Thorrior is a good ol buddy of ours and the founding member of the Philadelphia Thorriors! Always in the generous giving spirit, Skelethorr always bestows classic wrestling presents before us from Hacksaw Jim Duggan posters, to the badass Rocknroll Championship of the Universe Belt he brought on our last stop at Kung Fu Necktie. A constant traveler all around the area, he can be found at any of the shows we play from Delaware, eastern PA, or even up to Jersey… Thorriors, Thorriorettes and the rest, i present you with Skelethorr, this weeks, Thorrior of the Week. Be safe on your travels this week, and we’ll be back with HUGE news as soon as i can let the cat outta the bag… yours

Well, here it is, the last day of our US/European/UK/Scandinavian/ FALL WORLD tHourR. We’ve had nothing but unbelievable times these last ten weeks, and after the holidays, we’ll be up and running again working on a new album to singe your earholes. Thanx so much to all the Thorriors for doing what you do best. This weeks Thorrior of the Week comes to us from Vincenza, Italy. Here’s a pic of our buddy Pepo from Sabotage Bar on stage with us singing “Tomorrow Police” in its entirety. He may be the only person that we’ve ever let do that… We always have a good time @ Sabotage. Tonight is London, where we spent 6 hours in a holding tank @ the airport last night after being detained for not having the proper paperwork. But… we did not get deported back to oslo, and the show will go on!! Keep up with us here and on twitter over the next few months to see more Thorriors from around the globe, and follow along with us on our adventures in making a new album. Love from London, Valient Himself

Alahoyus to all! So, first of all, i wanna give props out and say i’m sorry to Skelethorr from the Philadelphia Thorriors. I have a badass pic of both of us, but i can’t retrieve it from my phone until we get back from Europe. But he is most def a Thorrior of the Week Upcoming not only for the simple fact that he’s a rad dude, but he also brought me a fucking WWF(E) Tag Team Belt to wear! Yeah, he’s that b’dass. So this week, Ive decided to go with a UK family of Thorriors from Birmingham England who drove a few hours to see us @ our London gig a few weeks back complete with homemade Thorr gear in tow!! Get a load of the shirt! and nice matching vests! Check em out, your Thorrior(s) of the week!

alahoyus to all! here’s a new lil thing we’re doin. The very first Thorrior of the Week comes to us from Iowa City, Iowa. He always impresses with his jackets (notice, i say jacketS). This one is no exception… Hawk it out, Gear yerself up, and keep checkin back here every 7 for the Thorrior of the Week.

yes that’s right! tonight, @ 2am on MTV2 Headbangers Ball, Valient Thorr’s video for “Tomorrow Police” will be aired. Now, I know what youre thinking… music videos- on television?!? NO WAY!!! but, YES, in the 80s and 90s, on a cable television channel called MTV (music television) artists would make these little commercials for their albums and generate sales for big record companies. That still happens, but most of the time they are played on the internet by fans, and other people who will eventually decide whether the music is worth stealing or not.
BUT…. there are other people who are consistently lobbying for music videos to make a comeback… 3 cheers for those people. I dont know about you, but i think ive seen all the celebrity- breakdown/makeup/ breakup shows that ill ever need to see.
So, here’s hoping that MTV(2) sprung for a plane ticket for ol Riki Rachtman… because it just ain’t headbangers ball unless there’s at least one real headbanger hosting the show. tune in tonight @ 2am. and request it from them daily and nightly.
love, valient himself
