Rock Werchter report
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
