Bottletree Cafe's former concert promoter is opening a venue of his own in Avondale.

Brian Teasley is partnering with the Bowery Presents, a New York concert management group, to open two affiliated businesses: Saturn, a music venue, and Satellite, a coffee shop and bar.

Satellite will go in the space that formerly housed Freshfully, and Saturn will go in the space next door. The two spaces at 200 41st St. S. are attached and hopefully open by late spring or early summer, Teasley said.

"My heart's really in the community and tying in events and other local stuff," Teasley said. "Our mission statement is to be a really hospitable kind of place, kind of an outgrowth of Bottletree."

Satellite will serve Stumptown Coffee, a Portland roaster.

Teasley said his vision for the acts that Saturn will book is similar to Bottletree: he wants nationally known acts performing there before they're national acts.

"I know how this should be done and how this shouldn't be done," Teasley said. "We're just kind of combining punk rock with a kind of European communal thing and put the southern hospitality on top."
