Full album download
Here we go again. Another 8 free songs in our download section. There’s one song we like best, so if you ask for anything new on your favourite radio station, ask for ‘More Bootlegs‘.
This addition of 8 more free tracks (some old and new stuff blended together) gives you the full 14 song download of our ‘HANDMADErecord’ album. Check out the lyrics, and next time we meet you on stage, we’ll have an extra mic ready for your sing alongs.
The bass
Check out our new bass player, Herwig. Another fine addition to this band and a great replacement for Igor, who’s shoes are not easy to fill. It happens in every band, and it became clear that Igor and asoQ were growing apart. We decided together that it was time for a change. We all met Herwig while recording and retracking the songs that you can download on this site. Let’s see how we roll. Another big thanks to Igor for all the years of great music.
Presenting the shirts are…
A while ago, we started this idea to hand out our t-shirts for free to people that have been helpful or extra nice to us, or just fun people we meet on the way.
Every time we handed someone a shirt we asked them to provide us with a picture of them wearing it. The first pictures are coming in. (We still have to put some other shirts in the mail – a bit behind on that. Sorry Torben, my bad). We started a flickr set, so you can take a look at them here. We’ll be adding as they come in. Thanks to all of you.
take this music
Take, take, take …
We have been communicating ‘take this music’ for the past few weeks and I guess we mean business. This music is all free. Not because we don’t value it, we highly do, but because we like the idea of you playing it and sharing it.
You can easily help us out. All we need is for you to download the tracks and tell everyone and anyone about them. (Only if you like what you hear, of course.) – In the long run this will help us to provide you with more releases.
5 more free songs for your sharing pleasure: ‘varnish’, ‘single me out’, ‘insular’, ‘hoax’ and ‘freak’. A blend of old and new material. Along with the previously released ‘city of quartz’, these six songs are the first half of our ‘more bootlegs’ online free album compilation.
The math is quite simple:
 |
the music is free |
 |
if you like this music, download the tracks |
 |
share this with your friends to listen |
 |
they can also download the tracks and hopefully tell others about it |

t-shirts for free
We got some of these original asoQ printed shirts in stock . You can get your hands on one for free.
How can you get your free asoQ tshirt?
- Get 10 (20 proved to be too much for you all) of your facebook friends to become a fan of our facebook fanpage (and while you’re at it, ask them to download the “city of Quartz mp3“).
- Mail us the list of your 10 selected friends once they have friended to the page + your home address, so we can send you the shirt.
We can mail you the shirt or you can collect it yourself at our resident food place ‘Lombardia‘ in Antwerp. (Try the Ginger Love drink while you’re at it, ask for the asoQ discount). Until we run out of tshirts that is.
If you want to wear the rags without the social drags: you can buy a shirt for 15€. Pop us a mail.
free download City of Quartz
Here’s a free song for you people: City of Quartz. Get it in mp3 or flac + the lyrics in our download section. You are free to share it with others (read more about why and how this music is free here). Tell others where to get it.
This is one of the tracks we recorded in September 09. We love it and there is more to come.
The artwork is by @lapresidenta. She felt weird things, listening to it, so this bird-man-octopus on a bike came out. Thanks.
donotfold photoshoot
These are band pictures we took just for the hell of it in February 2009. Stijn Van Minnenbruggen (donotfold.be) did all the work, following a concept by @lapresidenta (she made the cakes and dressed the set).
It was damn cold and we had all been deprived of sunlight for many months. The paleness truly added to the twisted magic of the moment. Much obliged, peoples. It was a Lynch moment and that is always to be aspired, I guess.
Extra song recordings
Back in November (‘09) we went back to the studio (gyraf.be) where we recorded some extra material which we felt really excited about. There are some pics of that session right here on our Flickr page. The new songs that we recorded are: City of Quartz, More Bootlegs and A Freak Like Me. We’ll be presenting the results of these recordings in one way or another to you pretty soon. Keep your eyes peeled for our communications here (if you can hanlde rss) or on our facebook page.
