Location: Delftseplein 39
Roodkapje x Rotown presents: The Gotobeds + Labasheeda
for fans of: Protomartyr, Sonic Youth, Parquet Courts, Dinosaur Jr.
The Gotobeds
The Gotobeds, hailing from Pittsburgh, deliver a raucous blend of punk, noise, and art rock—equal parts chaos, sarcasm, and unexpected melody. Channeling the spirit of bands like Wire, Sonic Youth, and The Fall, they carve out their own niche of melodic disobedience and jagged charm. With releases on Sub Pop and 12XU, their discography is a fierce and funny pushback against rock conventions. Their latest album, Masterclass, written in the shadow of the pandemic, captures the band at their most urgent, inventive, and raw. Live, The Gotobeds are a thrilling mess—wild, sharp, and never predictable.
Labasheeda
Labasheeda is a unique rock trio from Amsterdam, currently consisting of Saskia van der Giessen (vocals, guitar, violin), Arne Wolfswinkel (guitar, bass), and George Hadow (drums).
Labasheeda's music defies easy categorization; the band continues to explore new musical paths, alternating raw punk rock with hypnotic grooves.
The unorthodox use of violin, the often unusual time signatures, and Saskia van der Giessen's distinctive voice give the band its unique sound. On stage, the band delivers intense and dynamic shows. The band has toured extensively throughout Europe since its formation. At the end of 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 Laba
sheeda”
