ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Rockin' at the Pipeline Cafe

Advertiser Staff

HAPPENING

Missing Dave is one of the three bands playing tonight at the Pipeline Cafe.

To quote that now truly legendary and fiercely intellectual headbanger war cry first uttered by Sheffield, England, music visionaries Def Leppard, "Rock rock till

you drop! Rock rock never stop!" Uh-huh, we're getting a little verklempt just reminiscing, too. Not enough, though, to overlook tonight's three-band Rock at the Pipe concert at Pipeline Cafe. Doing it live (because rock just plain sounds better that way) are Analog, Missing Dave and Neken.

Tickets are $8 pre-sale, $10 to $12 at the door; call 926-3000. Doors open at 10:30 p.m. Be 18 or older.



HEARD IN JAPAN

That's Jake!

You don't need subtitles to figure out that the frenetic strumming in the background of the hit Japanese series "Rikon Bengoshi II" is none other than Jake Shimabukuro.

The series, which airs on the Nippon Golden Network (digital channel 677) uses music from Shimabukuro's upcoming CD "Dragon" to accompany its fast-paced comedic storylines.

Shimabukuro has also lent his furious fingers to the Japanese children's show "NHK Karada de Asobo," which is broadcast only in Japan.



FINAL WORD

“First of all, I didn’t grow up watching the Oscars, so it’s never been a goal of mine. I wanted to make movies. … People have tried to get me to do a role by saying, ‘This is your Oscar.’ That means nothing to me.”
