Humo.be posted their review of Wait for Me yesterday. Unlike the first part could suggesting it’s very possitive.
‘What we need is schooling for the children / What we need is fairness in trade / What we need is transparent governance’: neen, het keihard intrappen van zeer wijd openstaande deuren wordt niet gemeden op ‘Wait For Me’, de nieuwe Zita Swoon.

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 😀

Did A Beatband/Moondog Jr/Zita Swoon ever entered Humo’s Rock Rally?
I don’t think so.
… but those people at Humo love ZS as much as we do, and they’ve put Zita Swoon on the Best of Rock Rally-cd anyway.

Different sources (Humo + MySpace Bart) announce a Marconi session for Zita Swoon on the 5th of march.
What is it?
An intimite concert recorded by Radio 1 at the Marconi Studio.
Tickets?
Apparently, last week there was a contest on the Humo-website where you could win tickets (10 x 2)… I have no idea if – and where – other tickets will be available… but i guess Radio 1 will have it’s own contest on Volume 1 and Exit (last week they had a contest for the marconi session with Gabriel Rios, Jef Neve and Kobe Proesmans at february 26th).
zita swoon will perform on humo’s poppoll, 20/03/06, sportpaleis, antwerpen
and on may 4th 2006 at the “cirque royale” brussels. It’s the “les nuits botaniques” festival.
de leute !
