Can you feel the love?

Valentine's Day is just a couple days away, but the folks at KSSU radio are already playing the role of Cupid - well, in a musical sense. The station at California State University, Sacramento is hosting a show tonight called "Frequencies of Love," with proceeds going to victims of the recent Southern California wildfires. And you thought a box of chocolates was a sweet gift.

The concert features a mash-up of musical styles: hip-hop from Live Manikins and Righteous Movement, punk from No Admission and the singer-songwriter Richard March. The gig will also double as a CD release party for Kepi the Band, the new group from the former Groovie Ghoulies frontman.

The price is $10, which rounds out to $2 per band. What a bargain! So round up your change and head to the ballroom at CSUS. The show starts at 7 p.m.
