Labasheeda 2015

The last months we’ve been busy finishing the new album and rehearsing with our new drummer, Aletta Verwoerd.

After supporting King Champion Sounds in Leeuwarden (our first gig in almost a year!), we’ll be playing in Amsterdam on April 11, followed by a tour through Germany and the Czech Republic (check the agenda for dates).

More info on the new record (to be released in May) coming soon…

In the studio again

From June 7-9 we recorded the basic tracks for our new album at Next to Jaap. Ten new songs, plus a cover of The Who’s Circles and an electric re-make of My Instincts (released last year on a 7″). Overdubbing and mixing will be done in the coming weeks, so the record should be finished before the summer holidays!

Touring & recording

Labasheeda will be touring the UK again in March. We are playing in London, Glasgow, Preston, York, Sheffield, and Bornemouth (see agenda for details).

After that we will be recording a couple of songs with Corno Zwetsloot at the Next to Jaap studio for our new album.

To promote the release, we will do acoustic instore performances at the Irrational Library (the 14th) and Concerto (the 28th).… Read more

On the road again

Next week we’ll be on a six day tour through France with Bas Snabilie on drums (see agenda for details). In December there will be some more gigs in the Netherlands, plus the release of a 7″ containing five news songs which we recorded last Summer. Stay tuned.

New recordings

Last week we’ve been recording some (semi) acoustic songs at the Next to Jaap studio for a special release later this year.
