But their sound stays disconnected from fleeting freak-folk trends, too. Hailey's with Megafaun and Matthew Gray, Delves Into The Humanity Pools, 9PM.

MARVEL CAKE: Watch your high-rise office window -- Spider-Man is apparently in town as Lone Star Comics is throwing a birthday bash for the 70-year-old Marvel Comics, complete with anniversary cake. Expect games, prizes, and sweet giveaways. 7PM.
