About Labasheeda

Labasheeda is an idiosyncratic rock trio from Amsterdam and currently consists of Saskia van der Giessen (vocals, guitar, violin), Arne Wolfswinkel (guitar, bass), and George Hadow (drums). Labasheeda's music is not easily pigeonholed; the band constantly seeks new musical avenues, alternating raw punk rock with hypnotic grooves.

The unorthodox use of the violin, the often unconventional time signatures, and the distinctive voice of Saskia van der Giessen give the band its unique sound. On stage, the band delivers intense and dynamic shows. The band has toured extensively throughout Europe since its inception. In late 2023, Labasheeda released its sixth full-length album, titled Blueprints . This album was very well received internationally and described in the press as innovative.

“It's just at the point where rock and roll tips over into noise, where melody turns into sonic soundscaping and where song structure becomes untethered and unruly, that you find Labasheeda” (The Big Takeover, New York)
