THE LEFT LANE
Got to Get Up, Kids

Advertiser staff and news services

If the "emo" genre has any band worthy of being called a veteran act, it's the Kansas City, Mo.-bred Get Up Kids. Formed in 1995, the five-member band is one of the genre's most sonically adventurous and irreverent combos. And jump back, kids! The Get Ups are Honolulu-bound for a March 8 all-ages concert at the Pipeline Cafe. The opening act will be local band Linus.

Tickets — $20 each — go on sale tomorrow at Tower Records/Video, Cheapo Music, 808 Skate Kailua, the UH Campus Center, Foodland stores and military ticket outlets. Charge them at 526-4400.

Higher consciousness

DASS

Miss the days of better spirituality through pharmaceuticals? Take a trippy trip down memory lane with "An Evening with Ram Dass and Krishna Das," the guru and musician, respectively, who will be at the Diamond Head Theatre 7 p.m. March 5.

Ram Dass, aka Richard Alpert, was a psychology professor at Stanford, the University of California and Harvard whose explorations of human consciousness through LSD helped spark the "Tune in, turn on, drop out" movement that included Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzer, Aldous Huxley and Allan Ginsberg. His story was featured in "Fierce Grace," seen recently at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Tickets, $20 in advance ($25 at the door), at Golden Phoenix, 1481 S. King St. No. 110; 947-4293. Information: 536-7431.

Miller on 'Brady'

MILLER

See Kala'i Miller, firefighter-turned-actor, on the "Wayne Brady Show" at 9 a.m. today on KGMB-9. Miller spills the beans about the ABC Family show he hosts, "The Last Resort," a reality series shot in Hawai'i, showcasing nine couples — three at a time, over 15 episodes — who are at a crossroads in their relationships.

"Resort" airs at 6:30 p.m. Mondays on ABC Family Channel.

Meanwhile, Brady also is at a crossroads in his life, becoming a father Monday. His Hawai'i-reared wife, Mandie Taketa, gave birth to their first child, a daughter, named Maile Masako Brady. Brady also hosts ABC's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

Handbag heaven

Women don't just carry purses. They obsess about them, covet them and collect them. A purse is useful and stylish, fun and frivolous. And it's also the subject of two new books.

"Handbags: The Power of the Purse," by Anna Johnson (Workman, $13.95), is a photo-heavy little book that includes a survey of "It" bags through the ages.

Another book on the topic, "Handbags: A Peek Inside A Woman's Most Trusted Accessory," by Barbara G.S. Hagerty (Running Press, $24.95), covers the subject in a more serious manner, with lots of lavish pictures.
