THE LEFT LANE
Rock 'n' roll rumble

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Hawaiian Express owner Jason Miller is unabashedly calling it "a triple-threat Mainland-band rock 'n' roll rumble."

That's his Pipeline Café bill tonight featuring Rich Kids On LSD, Buck Wild and Sicker Than Others at 9 p.m.

Rich Kids are straight-outta-the-'80s Cali skate punkers, formerly on Epitaph Records. Back together after a brief post-millennial breakup, Buck Wild specializes in melodic party punk, latter-'90s-style.

Sicker Than Others' forté is hook-filled rock guitar and melodic punk. Entry is $5 for ages 21 and over; $10 for ages 18 to 20.

Another triple-bill (same bands, with local rockers Black Square, Woody, and El Enimigo) drops Friday, 8 p.m., at Pink Cadillac. More information at 808shows.com.


Nuno-zori as mom art

Nuno-zori are traditional Japanese rag-weave slippers made from recycled materials such as yukata. Suzanne Kobatake of Hawai'i Kai has fashioned keiki-sized nuno-zori in this traditional craft.

Irene Kawaguchi of Wabi-Sabi in Kaimuki spotted the tiny zori and came up with an idea for Mother's Day: She'll frame the nuno-zori in the appropriate quantity for your mom or tutu. For example, if Mom has two keiki, she'll frame two zoris; if Tutu has five grandchildren, then five zoris for her.

Each zori costs $5.50. A bamboo frame is $3.50 and a mat is $2. The bamboo frames can hold a maximum of six zoris, and the mat can hold one or two.

If you're the crafty type and would like to try your hand at making nuno-zori, there will be a class at Wabi-Sabi from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 16.

Cost: $24, which includes a partial kit. Information: 734-3693.


Hair stuff for guys

FEKKAI
Product? What's "product"? If you're one of those guys who doesn't know gel from gelato, or hair mousse from the chocolate kind, help is on the way.

Style icon Frederic Fekkai will conduct a grooming seminar just for men, tonight from 6 to 8. Learn what the trends in style and color are, as well as tips on how to look your best.

Women, do not despair. Fekkai will do free consultations in the cosmetics department tomorrow and Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Neiman Marcus special events room. Reservations: 948-7390.

Psst! Guys! After the seminar, sneak over to the men's department and buy a pre-Castro Cuban cigar. A professional cigar roller will be on hand to demonstrate how it's done.

Reservations: 951-3421.
