A bistro

builder

New player alert: Kristofer Keith, the owner of the Bowery, a New York-style bar and bistro at Sunset and Vine. Keith, who co-owns with partners George Adou-Daoud and Anthoni Falati, opened the 2-week-old Bowery with the Lower East Side in mind. Think black subway tiles and buttery burgers. Keith also designed and built actress Jeri Ryan’s L.A. restaurant Ortolan, as well as restaurateur Andre Guerroro’s Senor Fred and Max. In addition, Keith’s been tapped to design Guerroro’s upcoming Eagle Rock joint, the Oinkster....

And speaking of Pennywise, the Hermosa Beach band took over the Vault 350 in Long Beach over the weekend for two-sold out shows. Guests on Friday included Vandals/Perfect Circle drummer Josh Freese and Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir, who was celebrating his b-day....

Aiken’s heartache

Crooner Clay Aiken says this year’s “Joyful Noise” tour is a real tear-jerker. “Even though I know the ending, it still chokes me up,” says Aiken, who brings his Christmas show to Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre on Nov. 9 & 10. Teri Hatcher and her daughter Emerson Rose got a sneak peek when they checked out a recent rehearsal....
