On March 12th The Scene will release their new album Code (their 15th!) and Stef is one of the guests on it. The news came as no real surprise because Stef and the Scene  frequently worked together over the past few years (Radio 1 SessieNekka Nacht). Stef will feature on the track Mooi (Nice). We’ve found a version on youtube but sadly without Stef.

Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reports that Helmut Lotti is working with Stef Kamil Carlens on a rock album.  The nature of their coöperation is unclear. Will we hear both artists on the record? (to be released in June) Is Stefs part limited to (pre)production?

Sources: Vandaag.be, Skynet.be
+ during the MIA-award show Lotti joked he was working on a heavy metal album (video)

Review – Wait for me – Groningen by Matthijs

3voor12.nl posted another review of a Wait for me performance.

De setting van de Stadsschouwburg drukt meteen een stempel op de avond. De nabijheid van de band, het aanraakgehalte, doet denken aan een huiskamerconcert. Op het moment dat de bandleden het podium oplopen is er ook geen gejoel of enthousiaste kreten: pas op het moment dat ze zich situeren achter hun instrumenten klinkt er wat voorzichtig applaus.

Review – Wait for me – Breda by Matthijs

And here’s another very positive review (in dutch)

Zita Swoon Group blijft zichzelf vernieuwen zonder eigen stijl te laten varen

Frontman Stef Kamil Carlens ging naar het West-Afrikaanse Burkina Faso en kwam terug met een zangeres en een balofonist. Een fantastische samenwerking is geboren! Zita Swoon Group, samen met zangeres Awa Demé en xylofonist Mamadou Diabaté Kibié, brengen thematieken uit de moderne Afrikaanse samenleving. Een traditioneel Afrikaans geluid in een altijd fijne Zita Swoon-schwung.
