FOREIGNER WELCOME AT KONOCTI\

Like the maniac in the ''Halloween'' series, the minute you think '80s pop

bands such as Foreigner and Loverboy are good and dead, they start singing

some crazy love anthem and rise from the grave, grisly bi-levels and sweat

bands still in place.

Foreigner -- whose name bears more relevance than ever in a music realm now

governed by punk and techno -- has risen. The ex-stadium rockers play 7 p.m.

Friday at Konocti Harbor Resort in Kelseyville.

It's been 18 years since guitarist-composer Mick Jones and singer Lou Gramm

formed their rock radio factory and began stamping out innocuous -- and

profitable -- pop.

Those who remember at all will never forget ''Feels Like the First Time,''

''Cold As Ice,'' ''Hot Blooded'' or ''Juke Box Hero''?

Foreigner has a new album, ''Mr. Moonlight.'' And Jones and Gramm are

saying it feels like the first time. Tickets: $40; $65 with dinner. Phone:
