Photos: Maple & Beech “Side Eye” Single Release at The Hook & Ladder Theater Photo coverage of Maple & Beech at The Hook and Ladder Theater for the release of their superb new single "Side Eye". Additional performances by Northing, Mayyadda, and Van Stee rounded out a great night of Minneapolis music.
Verskotzi EP Release, Greycoats & Van Stee
My work is fun, I admit. I go to shows, a lot of times for free, and see my friends play music. Some nights, though, it can feel like work. Last night, however, I went out for PURE FUN and OH MY GOODNESS I just had the TIME of my LIFE! (forgive me for yelling). But seriously.
It was a double header to beat all double headers. I started the night at the Turf Club seeing Verskotzi release their new EP "Waving." Okay, if you have never seen Verskotzi live, you MUST (oh - we happen to be playing a show together on Jan 24th at the Aster Cafe, by the way). Verskotzi is crazy amazing and engaging, not to mention that the band, fronted by Joey Verskotzi, has the best musicians in town. No joke. We're talking Ian Allison, Izaac Burkhart, and Grady Keneven. Killin' it. Here's a photo:
With a very full heart, I skipped off to the Nomad World Pub to catch two of my favorite local bands EVER, Weather Maps and Greycoats. Sadly, however, I missed the Weather Maps set. I did arrive in time though to see Greycoats, and John Reine in all of his glory. Their show was as good as ever. To remind you, this is the band that my producer Matt Patrick plays electric guitar for. He is on the left:
I was EXTREMELY pleased, however, to discover that most of the members of Weather Maps, who I missed, are also members of the headlining band Van Stee. They totally rocked it and the frontman Charlie Van Stee, more than once, busted out his light goggles. Amazing.
So, all that said, I will be posting some videos because how could you not? This stuff is fantastic. See ya then.

The Minnesota Fringe Festival is now taking place in the Twin Cities, and several local theater artists known for their independent, creative sensibilities have collaborated with Van Stee in a new video seemingly inspired by Twin Peaks. It's one of our Friday Five must-see Minnesota music videos.
VAN STEE
Charlie Van Stee discusses arranging a record at Humans Win!, guilty pleasures in pop music, love of everything from standup to Star Wars, and ruminating on the true definition of success
Music from this episode:
Fairfax, AK - "Just Fine" Love Stories & Picture Shows
Van Stee - "We Are" We Are
Van Stee - "Color in the Paper Planes" We Are
Still Life With A Ham, A Fish, A Candle And Other Objects Arranged On The Edge Of A Tabletop by Harmen Van Steenwijk.
I first listened to We Are by Van Stee on my way work. My way to work is a 15 minutes walk by the harbor with the sun reflecting of the water in my eyes and other people around me getting ready for another day. Lots of impressions going off in all directions.
Therefore this song made a great soundtrack for my walk to work. It has this determined beat perfectly paced for my walking and the whole song has this feel of men at work banging away at steel creating the next big thing. What a great way to get the day started!
Charlie Van Stee is the man behind Van Stee. Other members of band are currently Josh Kaplan (drums), Lance Conrad (guitar), Shawn Connelly (keyboards) and Jimmy Stofer (bass). In March 2013 the band released their debut album We Are on Humans Win! records.
Cheers, Nis

Of all the songs I talked about throughout my time writing the 365 Music Project, I don't think I ever had a time where I featured a song as a song of the day and then a few months later, it was featured as the song of the day by The Current.
Today's song of the day is such a song. Thank you to my dear friend Charlie and the guys of VAN STEE for letting the 365MP be the first to feature today's tune so many months ago. Song of the day is "We Are" by VAN STEE.
