Raleigh's biggest Independent Music Festival is going on this weekend. 175 bands will play between 15 venues in downtown Raleigh. Get more information here.

Valient Thorr is one of the bands making an apperance at the festival. I had the opportunity to speak with Valient Himself in 2006. My favorite part is about 4:30 in when Valient Himself tells me about how Walt Disney stole their time machine.
