It's mid- January in Central Oregon, and that means it's cold. But I predict steamy windows between Greenwood Avenue and th e i n side of Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom tonight. That's because of both the lineup and its draw. The bill includes a popular Portlander who plays in Bend a lot and two popular locals who've lived around here for a long time and will bring out the crowds. The out-of-towner is Tony Smiley, a one-man rock attack who uses looping pedals to recorddrums, guitars,bass, vocals, keys and more, then builds all those pieces into Foo Fighters-esque songs. He'll be j oined by l o cal musician and producer Keez, aka Brad Jones, whose sound is a colorful amalgam of pop, New Wave and electronica. Bend-based hip-hop everyman Mosley Wotta will perform as a special guest, and local MC N o rthorn L ights will open the show. If you see Silver Moon

McMenamins hosts The Brown Edition When I think of Olympia, Wash.'s music scene, I think of punk rock and riot grrrls, of Nirvana and Sleater-Kinney, of hugely influential indie record labels Kill Rock Stars and K Records.
Olympia's scene is very strongly defined, i n o t h er words, as a place where guitar-rock and D I Y c u l t ure collide. Then again, it's not 1994
anymore. And Olympia is no doubt teeming with bands like The Brown Edition, an eight-piece collective of musicians who play a vintage blend of funk, soul, jazz and blues, with a hint of Latin flavor here and there. Samples at the band's website — and presumably its new album "Soulpocalypse," too — sound like they were rescued from a trunk full of records discovered in some cool old cat's attic. There ar e i n s trumental jams and upbeat numbers with vocals, but across the board, it could easily double as the soundtrack to the most authentic '70s party e v er thrown. Fans of Galactic, The Meters, Tower of Power and the like, take note. The Brown Edition; 7 p.m. Thursday; free; McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 N.W. Bond St., Bend; www .mcmenamins.com. — Ben Salmon
