Interviews

Studio Brussel had a video interview with Stef this afternoon:

• He liked the Montreal Jazz festival (july 1st).
• Stef doesn’t want to play at werchter’s main stage because it doesn’t fit their music, and likes the Pyramid Marquee because of it’s intimacy.
• Neil Young’s the only artist he wanted to see tonight.
• His favourite Zita Swoon-mood drink: Cuba Libre.

There’s a backstage interview with Stef in the Report 08 section of the Rock Werchter website.

Here’s how you get there: Go to the homepage > choose the “Report 08″ tab > Dag 2 > click Zita Swoon in the Movies-column.
Stef talk’s about:

• How he got there by bike. Stef try’s to do this for each Belgian festival gig. Last week it took him about 4 hours to get in Genk (a 120km ride).
• He had a bit of a hangover as a result of a night out with Tom Barman.
• Now Tom won’t be replaced they chanced some of the arrangements. Joris got a lot more work on his hands. Now the arrangements are less rock and more reggae.
• His ideal preparation to a gig:
  - a quiet backstage where he can listen to some Son House or Muddy Waters-like blues,
  - having a drink,
  - time to warm-up his voice and arrange the clothes,
  - being alone for a while
  - no interviews
