A place for 'little Minneapolis'
Since Stasiu's in northeast Minneapolis started booking live music this summer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the very first thing people need to know is how you can pronounce the bar's name. The second: Have you seen the bathrooms?
Why don't we have that view: Rhymes with "ska shoes," and yes, the men's bathroom has two big marble urinals from an old hotel; urban legend says Al Capone once used them. (I saw them just for you, dear reader.) The women's bathroom has a shower. No one seems to know why.
A neighborhood bar about the corner of Lowry and University Avs. NE., Stasiu's could possibly be full of tobacco smoke if the law would let it. It is a bar for the working class, the locals, the scenesters at Grumpy's NE. Since July,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hunt has been booking bands in the primary room for owner Brad Schutte, and eventually she would like to fill the parlor with bands, too.
To date,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she's were built with a full lineup in the main room almost every night with help from friends such as Chris Dorn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lead singer from the Beatifics, who launched the Hexagon Bar scene a few years back.
"I know how hard it's to get people in here," she said. "But that's my secret." She also confesses that she sees Stasiu's like a chance to really contribute something. She says all this in a voice made raspy by nodes on her vocal cords -- the curse of hard-working singers.
Seeing bands at Stasiu's is a mixed experience. A big, fat pillar divides the primary room into a bar area and also the larger performance space, however it blocks the sightlines from bar and stage and disrupts the room's feng shui. Walk around it to the main area, though,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it's a decent space -- the sound is good and even though room is small, there's room to move.
A $5 cover charge is the norm. You most likely haven't heard about most of the bands, there is however a growing list of more familiar names such as Vampire Hands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Building Better Bombs and Gay Witch Abortion. And many nights, you will see Hunt up front dancing by "her pole," showing her support and getting individuals to dance.
About the only night you won't see a band is Monday and the reason is Ping-Pong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. They setup a table for a regular game night and you could easily get chance at it when the Ping-Pong regulars do not get there first.
There is no jukebox at Stasiu's, so be ready on nonband nights to have an occasional dose of the "Team America" soundtrack. And sometimes, as you're hitting a Ping-Pong ball all around the room, Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover" can come on. Life is good.
Poison Control impressions
Although it's from Ames, Iowa, Poison Control Center plays here enough -- at Big V's, the Turf Club and the Hexagon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc. -- it might as well be considered a local band. It's a band for those who like a little chaos with their indie rock, and guys who play guitar while trying to do a headstand or even the splits.
When the band played come july 1st inside a Des Moines ballroom, someone dared lead singer Patrick Tape Fleming to hold from a chandelier. "So I leaped from the stage and hung in the chandelier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], swaying backwards and forwards, " Fleming said. "It's bad to dare us because we will probably do something five times worse." PCC has a charmed existence, because not just did the chandelier survive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but a reporter from Jane magazine just happened to be there, loved them and called them her faves.
Another standout about PCC is its lyrics, that are clever but dark. "Magic Circle Symphony" is about the time Fleming was residing in Indianapolis and fell deeply in love with a barista -- his future wife -- in a coffee shop across the street.
