Together they created a blend of indorock and 80's hardrock and soon found themselves surrounded with band members that were of like mind.
They are now a six member formation and are working hard on getting their music out there.
Currently they have finished recording their first demo and have a series of gigs planned in 2011. [Read less]
The story begins in 2010 when Asmara, already playing in CIA Bartender, decides to start up his own band. Having already written some material together he officially asks his sister (Tiana) and a friend (Somphong) to join him on vocals and bass respectively.
Together they created such songs now known as "Believe In Yourself", "Don't Care About You" and "Children Of Rock 'n' Roll".
At this point, however, they were only a three-piece band and Asmara had to record the keyboards and drums himself.
All of this was done at home but they knew they had to get out there and so they placed ads, looking for a second guitar player and drummer.
In the meantime they also had their first live experience with the help of Dreas en Peter (CIA Bartender). The show garnered some good reviews and made them confident that this was the road they wanted to take.
After a few auditions the band came across Leslie who also resided in Antwerp and who reacted to the ad after hearing their homemade recordings.
He loved the music and fitted the profile so it didn't take too long before he was drafted.
They then found a place to rehearse and starting from January 2011 they practiced weekly somewhere in the outskirts of the city. For the time being, however, with the use of a drum track.
With this line-up they did a few small shows and it was then that they met Julie. She started out as a fan of the band but to her own surprise found herself playing the keyboards before too long.
Assia needed one more person to complete the line-up. A drummer!
Actually, this didn't quite turn out to be an easy job but they kept looking and somewhere in May 2011 they responded to an ad of a drummer.
He was called Fabiano and also lived in Antwerp. Having played in rock and metal bands for a long time he knew how to handle the sticks very well.
After one try-out the band was convinced he had the skills and the vibe. And so the band finally found their dummer.
The story of Assia continues in 2011 with the making of their demo, playing live shows and spreading their music as far as they can.
Just believe in yourself...

Le nomade des coeurs
Assia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai cru voir en toi mon âme soeur, à ta vue ma vie s'est bloquée
Des bouts de reve en couleurs, s'échappent de tes lèvres pressées
Pour toi, le plus beau de tous les menteurs, l'amour pur est un peché
Regarde-moi, tu m'as piégée de mon plein gré
Emmène-moi, là où tu iras, je suivrai
Raconte-moi tous les soleils que nous irons voir se coucher
Parle-moi encore de cette vie de bohème, que j'aime déjà à l'imaginer
Que tu n'me dis jamais
(Mais) qu'est ce que tu caches derrière ce regard en partance
Seule dans le noir, moi je repense à tes silences
Qu'importe si je fais fausse route ou si je me damne pour toi
Le seul enfer que je redoute, c'est tout une vie sans toi
Oh toi, mon nomade des coeurs, qui erre sans jamais se poser
J'ai compris trop tard, ce vide dans ton coeur, qu'aucun amour ne pourra combler
Tu m'avais promis le bonheur, un voyage au bout de l'amour
Maintenant je sais, c'était un aller sans retour
The song "Le nomade des coeurs" by Assia is about a woman who falls in love with a man she calls the "nomad of hearts", who wanders without ever settling down. She initially believes he could be her soulmate, but realizes too late that he cannot be the one to fill the emptiness in his own heart or hers. The man is described as a beautiful liar who sees pure love as a sin. Despite this, the woman is drawn to him and wants to go wherever he goes, even if it means giving up her own desires and following him blindly. She longs to hear him say the three words he never says, signifying her own desperation and longing for his love. In the end, the woman realizes that the man has promised her happiness and a journey to the end of love, but it was a one-way trip that would leave her empty-handed.
