The Valkyries

"The two days of rock and roll kick off Friday when the Valkyries open for the Girls. Unlike the Girls, the Valkyries are a band comprising actual women—women who listen to a lot of punk and metal records, tease their hair, and shred like equal parts Babes in Toyland and Thin Lizzy. I bet if they ran into Vampire Weekend, they'd beat them up and steal their cigarettes." -Megan Seling for The Stranger July 2008
