24-10-2024 New Release Plan for ‘Funkadelic’!

Dear Funky Family,

First of all, I want to send a huge thank you for your incredible support throughout the Funkadelic Europe tour and beyond. Because of you, I’ve been able to release 4 out of the 6 songs from the album on Bandcamp. Every bit of crowdfunding went directly into the producing, recording, studio rentals, and paying the talented musicians and engineers who helped bring this project to life.

However, I’m facing a slight delay in the full album release as I work to generate the funds needed for the final mixing, mastering, and pressing costs. Doing this project independently has meant adjusting plans as I go, but I’m staying focused on delivering something truly special.

Here’s the exciting part: I’m in the final stages of completing the last 2 tracks with my producers, and we’re aiming for a December release on Spotify and all major platforms. While I’m currently out of money for the physical copies, I’m working hard to find an affordable way to get them pressed. But don’t worry – I’ll make sure you all get the album digitally, no matter what. I’ll keep you posted on how things are going with the physical release, too!

If you can’t wait to hear the new music, you can pre-listen and download the songs on Bandcamp here: https://roseandthebass.bandcamp.com/

Your support means the world to me. Thank you for being with me on this journey

With love and funky vibes, Rose & The Bass

02-12-2023 UPDATE album recordings

Since we’ve succeeded this crowdfunding campagne 229 days ago we managed to collect money to make the recordings for the new album happen. And it is happening.

Asmussen has started the process by traveling through Norway and Sweden with my bus Walter. She’s spend 2 months on the road to visit some incredible artists and hit the studio in Oslo. She managed to record the essentials for her 8 songs: drums, bass, vocals and some special guests with their funky instruments were invited in the studio too. She’s currently working with Dutch producer Rolito. Together they continue with the last recordings for the album in Wisseloord, Hilversum. Some special guests will be adding some funky twists to the songs. The next month she’ll make the last recordings before the songs are ready to be mixed and mastered by engineers.

23-01-2020 JAMUNDO FORCED TO A TEMPORARY BREAK

After three incredible years with lots of jam sessions and connections we made on stage, we are forced to temporarily pause this world oriented concept of JAMundo. Unfortunately, the evenings of JAMundo are not cost-effective for the hospitality industry in the heart of Groningen.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to continue these evenings without the support of the municipality funding. We are currently working behind close doors with the crew members of JAMundo and those involved to re-establish this concept in a different/better and improved way.

Rose is preparing the bus for a long journey; making sure that Walter (the bus) is and stays waterproof, I am working on the body, removing the rust, repainting it and making sure that the 40 year old engine is as stable as possible to hit the Scandinavian mountains. At the same time I am working full time in Amsterdam to save money for the trip (gasoline, food and unforseen expenses).

DATES:

The recordings for the album ‘Rose and the Bass’ will take place from the 3rd until the 12th of July in Oslo, Norway. There will be video recordings happening in Norway and I will visit some really cool musicians in Norway and Sweden!
