unwritten law

Saw Unwritten Law at the House of Blues last night. Not a very good show. Scott was either completely strung out, or completely strung out when he wrote the music. Frankly, I'm not sure which.

In either case - he needs to return to his previous state. He's incapable of performing as it stands.

Alternatively, he could look for a new job. I don't think he'll be able to support himself touring. He didn't sell out HoB, even with several local openers. His set lasted about an hour, but only because he talked through half of it. A good quarter of the time spent singing was far out of key.

I wouldn't recommend an Unwritten Law show to anyone at this point.

I'm also down on Metro right now - I went to their box office yesterday during the middle of the day when it is clearly supposed to be open. Instead, I found a sign "Back in 10!" ... needless to say, 20 minutes later no one was around to sell me tickets. I understand the alternative movement and their aversion to commercialism, but then you should just let people come in for free. You can't have a job selling tickets and then not sell them. It doesn't work that way - either you eschew commercialism and you give them away, or you get paid for doing your job and sell me tickets. I will give their box office one more chance, but if I can't buy tickets the second time I just won't go to Metro. I'm not that excited for their middling, commercial-yet-no-dancing shows.
