Tickets go on sale Saturday for Bad Religion's return concert at World Cafe Oct. 10. It's the same night that Journey begins a two-concert series here, but there isn't much danger of audience crossover. With Brett Gurewitz back, the veteran punk band is sounding better than ever. "The Process of Belief," the band's latest album, is its strongest to date. The concert will be an all-ages show with tickets at $20. Call 296-1019 for ticket outlets.
If you didn't catch Emme Tomimbang's hourlong special, "Hawaii to New York: The Aloha Spirit Lives," you have one last chance, at 10:30 tonight on KGMB-TV. The program features interviews with many people affected by the 9/11 attacks and features a performance by Disguyz of "Our Nation in Song," which they wrote last year on Sept. 11.
