Acute's residency at Tangier starts tonight!

Tonight marks the first night of alt-rock band Acute's residency at Tangier. Every Sunday this month will be glorious thanks to frontman Isaac Lekach's wonderful taste in music. He has organized a fantastic lineup for their month long residency. Michael Runion, Taylor Goldsmith (of Simon Dawes), and Whispertown2000 will be playing tonight's show. Miniature Tigers, Ryen Slegr (of Ozma), and Soft Pipes (Ant from Low vs. Diamond) are slated for the second night, September 16th. Holly Ramons and Steven and Bobby Birdman are due for the third night, September 23rd. Finally, on the last night of the residency, September 30th, Acute will be accompanied by a mini-orchestra of sorts. Don't miss out on any of these special nights!
Tonight's show starts at 7:30 PM at Tangier in Los Feliz. If you say "I love you" at the door, then you get in for $5. For reals! And if you say "I love you" to me, then you get a hug and maybe something special in return. I'll be there every night waiting for you to come around.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
