Tickets on sale
for the StrokesANOTHER weekend, another concert announced, with tickets going on sale for the Strokes' Hawaii return next month at Pipeline Cafe. They'll come to paradise again following shows this month in Europe and a New Year's Eve concert in Las Vegas.
First discovered in the late '90s in New York City's trendy Mercury Lounge, the Strokes made it big by trying to capture the sound of rock music popular 20 years ago. They even look like the Cars a little bit, if you ask me, especially when they're wearing those skinny ties. They'll be in town to support the release of their second full-length album, "Room on Fire."
Tickets will be available at 9 a.m. Saturday at Ticketmaster outlets for $20 each; all ages are welcome for the Jan. 7 concert. Call 877-750-4400 to charge by phone ...
LOOKS LIKE local comedian Paul Ogata's ribs have healed enough for him to get back onstage, following that debilitating hug he received last month at 102.7 Da Bomb's third-birthday party.
Ogata opens tonight and tomorrow for Robert Schimmel at Pipeline Cafe, with the fun starting at 8 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $20 each; call 926-3000 for more info ...
