Tonight, Fresno's Cabin Fire is having a CD Release Party at The CYC for their new EP "Humid City". Maybe it's not the most accessible music there is but that's all relative. We think it's as accessible as hell. In fact, we can access the fuck out of it:

Also playing at The CYC tonight (besides Fresno's Grow), are a couple out-of-town bands making stops: Mahria (Edmonton, AB) and Leer (SJ):
