Incoming: Hoobastank, Unwritten Law Play Acoustic at Sutra

Sutra Lounge in Costa Mesa has been changing its image since changing ownership last November, and the latest new haps over there is the "Unplugged Concert Series" that started earlier this month with Jason Reeves.

The acoustic fun continues this summer, with gigs from Hoobastank on June 10 and Unwritten Law on July 8.
