Label night Inner Basement #3: Daze in Bed, Thrilled

We would like to invite you to celebrate the release of Innerbasement VA Cassette with bands from the Rotterdam underground on June 27, 2025.

Innerbasement will produce the cassettes, a Rotterdam DIY label run by Loveth Besamoh. This event is in collaboration with hiddenbehindmist, an event promoter and visual artist from the Rotterdam underground scene. On this night, Innerbasement's new acquisitions will be presented with a split cassette.

Daze in Bed : Daze in Bed is a Rotterdam band with shoegaze psychedelic sounds. Influenced by many 80's 90's and current dream pop bands like Cocteau Twins and Beach House. BED makes a beautiful mix of melancholic, dreamy and contrasting abrasive textures, that leave you in a soothing trance.

THRILLED : Thrilled is a Rotterdam shoegaze band founded in April 2022 by Edward Smith and Devon van Wijngaarden. The band initially started as a way for Wijngaarden and Smith to bring their solo music to life with a full band. After a period of rotating between different members, they now have a permanent line-up consisting of: Edward Smith on vocals/guitar, Devon van Wijngaarden on vocals/guitar, Minne Davids on drums and Ana Hernandez Barrera on bass. Thrilled's sound is strongly inspired by shoegaze, a genre in which the guitar sound is central and often so heavily processed that it is barely recognizable as a guitar. By layering many different effects on top of each other, they create a dreamy, melancholic soundscape.
