The Ephinjis:
Golden lightning interrupts the stillness of a darkened sky— The Ephinjis strike, surging across stages with their high-octane modern rock ‘n roll. Out of the trenches emerge gutsy guitars and muscular punches of bass & drums, led by agile, serrated-edge vocals and heart-piercing storytelling. The Denver-based trio captivates with a searing honesty and verve that leaves audiences breathless and exhilarated. It’s a black tie affair, after all.

Espiaille:
Consider yourself privy to the secret society of Espiaille. In whispers, dashes & dots, Espiaille sings pomegranate-red transmissions to the world from their underground headquarters. Raise a toast with Gwen and Victor to their curious cocktail of inky calligraphed lyrics, pointillistic pop synthesizers, and Aperol-tinged sunbeams of violin.

Astoria is excited to be able to host your parties, meetings, weddings, events, classes, and more! Located in downtown Minneapolis, this multi-use space is available for whatever you can imagine. We have 800 square feet of indoor space with tables and chairs available. For parties and music events, we have both black lights and a disco ball! If you are looking for meetings or classes, the room is set with daylight-replicating lighting. We also have a 1000 ft patio space that is perfect for outdoor events. Let us help you plan the perfect event.

Astoria is an open-concept space located in Minneapolis, KS. The building is intended to be a space that can be whatever is needed. The main room is 800 sq feet of open area. Wall dividers can be added if you want to create a cozy corner for a meeting or left open for musical events, weddings, and classes. 

The new addition to the space holds the bathroom, some additional storage, and a utility sink. This makes having art classes a breeze for cleaning up. 

Our favorite part of this space is the back patio. It is a gorgeous outdoor space, a perfect place for additional seating or working. 

Astoria is owned and run by Karen & Justin Reed. This business model is a way to give the community a venture space. The goal is to have community center designed to allow everyone to pursue their dreams and goals.  We want to help those starting and running small businesses and help facilitate the sharing of creative passions. We have an open space that encourages art shows, musical events, parties and weddings. We envisioned a space for groups to meet and have fun. We want to sponsor events that bring the community together. 

Plans for this space include creating an outdoor mural, a blessing box to help community members who may be suffering from food scarcity, and a way for people to give back and help others; we want to foster the arts by working with the Ottawa County Arts and Humanities Council, and working on finding ways to connect community together. Karen is in process of finishing her schooling in meditation and mindfulness coaching and will be bringing meditation and yoga classes to the community.
