We are very excited to announce we are currently recording our seventh full-length album, which will be released in the autumn.
To help fund the production, we are organizing an ‘instant crowdfunding’ evening on Saturday, June 6th at Zaal 100 in Amsterdam, where people can already purchase a copy. As a thank you, we will play two special sets for all attendees, featuring guest contributions from Ditmer Weertman (alto sax), Herman te Loo (tenor sax), and Renato Cannavacciuolo (double bass).… Read more

In September ’25 we played in Prague at Klubovna. Daniel Path filmed the show with two cameras en edited the video as well. Huge thanks to Renato Cannavacciuolo for mixing the sound!
This is the first video. Here we play the song Volatile from our latest album Blueprints.
Back in 2009 we were invited to play at the North by Northeast festival, so we decided to book some more shows in Canada and do our first tour outside of Europe. Exciting times! Labasheeda was a quartet at that moment, but unfortunately the bassist couldn’t make it, because he lost his passport shortly before we were about to leave.… Read more

We put one of these out with our label Presto Chango Records as a free download every year or so. This one featuring new singles from Big League (Melbourne), Labasheeda (Amsterdam), Don Aman (Dijon), Bright Brown (NYC), and Templo Diez (Amsterdam).

Silné texty a melodický chaos (Labasheeda)

Výrazné housle, intenzivní bicí a pronikavý hlas zpěvačky Saskie van der Giessen. To jsou charakteristické rysy amsterdamské kapely Labasheeda. Od svého vzniku má na kontě několik alb, se kterými se dostala nejen do místních podniků, ale také za hranice Nizozemí. Artrockové trio přichází s novou deskou Blueprints, ve kterém si užijeme i violoncello, marimbu a kontrabas.… Read more
Labasheeda are an Amsterdam-based trio who are new to me, but apparently have been around awhile–their first album came out back in 2006. Their latest album, Blueprints, is the band’s sixth full-length, and it’s a collection of relatively difficult-to-classify indie rock. The three members of the band (Saskia van der Giessen, Arne Wolfswinkel, and Bas Snabilie) certainly sound like they’ve been playing together for some time now; they move as a single unit throughout Blueprints.… Read more

A chaque fois que je lis Blueprints, même au pluriel, j’entends I’m not playing with you, yeah you mais on n’est pas à Washington DC, c’est Amsterdam ici. Labasheeda publie son sixième album qui peaufine et magnifie de disque en disque son approche indie-rock prenant ainsi une consistance qui fait plaisir à entendre. Comme pour les précédents enregistrements, il faut toujours un peu de temps avant que les morceaux ne développent leur charme insidieux.… Read more

De Amsterdamse band Labasheeda heeft met Blueprints een werkelijk geweldig album afgeleverd, dat stekelige rocksongs combineert met nogal uiteenlopende invloeden, avontuurlijke klanken en gedreven zang
Labasheeda draait inmiddels al een tijdje mee, maar met het onlangs verschenen Blueprints kan de band uit Amsterdam wel eens flinke stappen gaan zetten. Op haar nieuwe album combineert Labasheeda invloeden uit de postpunk en indierock, maar door de bijzondere bijdragen van bijvoorbeeld de viool past de band in geen enkel hokje.… Read more
