Labasheeda are an art-rock band formed in Amsterdam in 2004 by Saskia van der Giessen. The band’s current lineup features vocalist & guitarist/violinist Saskia van der Giessen, guitarist Arne Wolfswinkel, bassist Wei-Ti Wu, and drummer Bas Snabilie.
The band has released five studio albums and three EPs; Charity Box, A Few of a Population, Circle, The Twilight State, Castfat Shadows, Listen The Snow is Falling, Changing Lights, and 2020’s Status Seeking.
Tying together a decade of adventurous, sound-evolving albums and changing lineups, are penchants for concise, stripped down melodies, and quick switches from spacious bass lines and drums into heavy, chaotic, and sometimes anthemic guitar driven songs, drawing comparisons to genre-pushing bands such as Sonic Youth and Sebadoh.
