Asoka

Asoka was a progressive rock band from Malmö .

Erixson had previously been a drummer in the 1960s band Taste of Blues and after a short time as Take Off was renamed Asoka after the Bengtsson brothers joined in 1971. The band's self-titled album Asoka (Sonet SLP-2527) was released the same year and was produced by Bo Winberg from The Spotnicks . The album was re-released in 2005 on CD with previously unreleased bonus tracks by both Taste of Blues and Take Off. Claes Ericsson and Robert Larsson were later members of Lotus .
