It’s been over 15 years since Zita Swoon -back then known as A Beatband- had it’s first release (Jintro travels the word in a skirt). Like almost any band, A Beatband made demo’s that predate their first official release. With kind permission of Stef Kamil we can offer you two songs from “the big 46 tape” by Kamil and the Beatband. This demotape was made in 1992. The following musicians appear on it: Sander Bruyneel, Steven Bruyneel, Bas Deriemaeker, Aarich Jespers, and Stef Kamil Carlens.
You’ve might have witnessed the band’s evolution through rock, dance, electronic, and quiet acoustic music… but at the beginning, there was blues.
Enjoy!
Hangover in the Laundry (3,9MB)
L’Amour n’est pas avec moi (7MB)
p.s. The second song is a TC Matic song which was released on their album Choco (1983)… and it’s a nice way to remind you of the Arno session (with a.o. SKC), next monday (nov 17) at the Amerikaans Theater (sold out) and live at Radio 1.
The members-page got a gigantic update.
In an attempt to keep it clear I’ve split Zita Swoon’s member history in 3 era’s:
1/ before Moondog Jr. (1992-Mid 1995) Known bandnames so far: Kamil and the Beatband (1992) > A Beatband (±1992 – ±1993) > SKC Moondog & A Beatband (±1994-early 1995) > Moondog Jr. (1995)
The ‘main members’-list of this era is my best guess.
2/ Moondog Jr. + Sunrise (Mid 1995-May 1997) For some reason i’m convinced Moondog Jr. became Zita Swoon in December 1996, and I know other online sources say it’s March 1997… so if you know for sure, tell us. I’ve chosen May 1997 because that’s when Björn entered (May 1st 1997 (?)) and Benjamin left (Last Sunrise-gig was on June 3th 1997).
3/ Zita Swoon (May 1997-now)
The origin of the band would be in 1989, when Stef and Aarich first met/worked together… but because I found no sources on anything before 1992… 1992 will do for now.
You’ll notice there’s a gap between the release of “Jintro travels the word in a skirt” (fall 1993) and first gig as Moondog Jr. (August 7th 1995). A lot of changes took place in those 15-18 months.
If you can help us fill in the blanks, please react!

About 6 years ago the idea of a Zita Tribute CD originated from the dEUS mailing list (dml). The project resulted in an 18 track CD with interpretations of known and rather rare Zita songs.
Thanks to Alex that great cd is now again avialable. This time as a torrent. You can find the file here. It’s in lossless .flac files, and the cover art comes with it.
(torrents can be downloaded through programs like utorrent, see comments for more detailed information on this)
I’ll add the songs as mp3 to the rabbitfield podcast – scheduled for tomorrow (evening).
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this great project!
(anyone still around?)
