Release Notes:
Zita Swoon is a Belgian indie rock group. They
entered the music scene of Antwerp in 1993, still
under the name A Beatband with the EP "Jintro
Travels The Word In A Skirt". The group is typical
of the music scene in Antwerp, with members playing
in numerous other groups. Best known member is
singer Stef Kamil Carlens, who founded the group
and also played in dEUS. The initial group also
included Tom Pintens and Aarich Jespers.
The same group released "Everyday I Wear A Greasy
Black Feather On My Hat" under the name Moondog Jr.
in 1995. Shortly thereafter they encountered legal
trouble over the name Moondog with Louis T. Hardin,
and changed it to Zita Swoon. The success of this
album was awarded with invitations to the Lowlands,
Pinkpop and Rock Werchter festivals. The same year
they also appeared live on MTV in Most Wanted with
Michael Blair.
Their first appearance in the US was at the South
by Southwest festival in 1998. Zita Swoon has
played at numerous places, from New York to the
Belgian Rock Werchter festival, the Holland
Festival, as well as in Germany. In early 1999
their work was recognized by the Flemish government
with a grant of 1.5 million Francs and the title
Cultural Ambassador of Flanders (a title previously
awarded to DAAU and dEUS).
