Scene Update: New club events, old restaurants and concert news


LET'S GET UP to speed on a few things, shall we?

•The big buzz in restaurants is that the DIY burger joint The Counter opened Monday at Kahala Mall. The place was pretty well packed at lunchtime. The concept is that you build your own burger from a long list of ingredients and toppings. It's like Burgers on the Edge, only better. It's a Cali franschise, and local restaurateur DK Kodama and actor Daniel Dae Kim (of Lost) are the money behind the new Honolulu location. It's way too early to know for sure, but this place might make the best burgers in town. Our lunchtime burgers were GREAT. That's all I'm going to say about it right now.

•This is already old news, but just in case it's new to someone: Brew Moon and Nick's Fish Market closed.

•Xyloh had its liquor license suspended for 30 days for a number of violations, including selling liquor to minors. When and if the license is reinstated, Xyloh must convert to a 21+ establishment.

•The of Montreal pre-show that was scheduled for Friday night has been cancelled. And in even older news: the of Montreal concert that is scheduled for Saturday night is going to be held at Loft, not Next Door as previously planned.

•The monthly party Camera Obscura moved from Loft to Indigo. It happens every first Saturday.

•Salsa After Hours, the Thursday night dance party at Rumours, is ending. Thursday is the last installment.

He's Just Not That Into You is a really bad movie. Really. It's still showing all over town if you want to see for yourself. Consider yourself warned.

*Saturday is the grand opening of the Dragonfly Room's (click on the pictured flyer for a larger view of the club's new sked) new Saturday night line-up. It launches with "Recession + The Underground." It's 21+, with $4 drink specials.

Go Jimmy Go is playing Saturday night at the Shack in Waikiki.

•Alt folk rock singer Bonnie "Prince" Billy (or Will Oldham, as he's also known) is doing a last-minute show at Mercury tonight.

•This Friday, CW's in Waikiki launches its new Friday-night thing: "The Happy Fridays" wrap-up party. It's an end of the week happy hour  with no cover and $3 drink specials from 5-9 p.m.
