The conversion of Pakit Liquidators in Bend from vast home supply resale yard to fun and funky artspace continues Thursday night with a show by Bay Area-based newgrass band Hot Buttered Rum.

Good ol’ HBR is Bend-tested, having played in town several times over the years. No shock there; the quintet’s eclectic, lightning-speed bluegrass and Americana is fuel for the kind of twirling, tear-it-up dance parties that locals seem to love.

Opening the show will be Medium Troy, a Eugene band that describes itself as “bohemian dub hop” and lists its influences as The Beatles, Dr. Dre and Bob Marley. It turns out that’s pretty much spot on. Think Beats Antique, but less earthy, more spacey; less dusty Burn, more urban dub; less hippie, more hip-hop. Cool stuff.

Hot Buttered Rum, with Medium Troy; 9 p.m. Thursday; $10; Pakit Liquidators, 903 S.E. Armour Road, Bend; www.j.mp/hbrum.
