Afrobeat in Bend: Chicago Afrobeat Project Hits Silver Moon

The eight-piece afrobeat collective, Chicago Afrobeat Project, hits Bend, Oregon.

By The Source Staff

After you've got your fill of art walk around downtown Bend and the Old Mill District tonight and laughed your face off at Central Oregon's Last Comic Standing, head over to the Silver Moon, that is, if you want to dance.

The Chicago Afrobeat Collective will be on hand, all eight of them, and will pump out some tracks that will rattle the walls of the cozy Greenwood Ave. taproom. The band has a blistering horn section and plenty of rhythm to go along with a sound that's somewhat of a blend of West African and contemporary sounds. Show kicks off 9pm and is $10 at the door. 21 and up.

Check out the band in action at this 2009 show.

We at the Blender believe in good ol' American justice -- and every other kind of justice. That's why we're asking you, the Internet reading folks in Bend, to help us find the low-life couple that distracted local filmmaker Chris Kas, then proceeded to jack his leather jacket which contained his wallet, keys and a borrowed HD video camera.

Don't Miss The Ascetic Junkies At Silver Moon
- by The Source Staff
- Dec 2, 2011
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the talented (and now married) Matt & Kali in Bend Oregon… but that’s all going to change tonight at Silver Moon Tap Room! If you’ve missed past coverage of The Ascetic Junkies, well… you must have been hidden under a rock. From their 2010 album This Cage Has No Bottom, to the new music they are creating (and are sure to share with us tonight), most people just can’t get enough of their unique folk/rock/pop/dance goodness.
