Charlie Van Stee Trio Triangulates, Innovates, and Insulates
I get about 100 “friend requests” a day on our mySpace.com profile from bands who are looking to be the next big thing. I listen to the music found on each and every one of those bands’ pages, and every now and then I stumble upon something great.
So, thank you to the Charlie Van Stee Trio for making my day by way of posting some inventive and interesting music on mySpace. This Minneapolis-based trio, which consists of the band’s namesake, Nathan Elliot, and Josh Kaplan, has not yet released an album, but they are producing some damn fine demos.

In the world of music blogs, it is a race to be first to find new talent, and every now and then ridiculous bands get annointed as the new buzz band (see Smoosh). The Charlie Van Stee Trio is a band that has been around the block, as members have played in bands such as Living Spoon, Free Grandma, and Jake Rowan. They are good. They play their instruments well. And they will probably be around longer than it takes Smoosh to hit puberty (no offense to Smoosh…).
These guys mean business. They are blending some great melodies, lyrics, and chord changes.
Summary: Check out these guys and watch out for an album some time in the future.
