Zita Swoon is a Belgian indie rock group. They entered the music scene of Antwerp in 1993, still under the name A Beatband with the EP "Jintro Travels The Word In A Skirt". The group is typical of the music scene in Antwerp, with members playing in numerous other groups. Best known member is singer Stef Kamil Carlens, who founded the group and also played in dEUS. The initial group also included Tom Pintens and Aarich Jespers.
Every song is a little piece of art on this album. They scored several hits in Belgium. Something you must have !
Essentially the same band as Moondog Jr., only now with another name and a slightly different cast, Zita Swoon has released several highly acclaimed albums since 1997. “I Paint Pictures On A Wedding Dress” is their second release under their new name, and it follows the same musical path initially taken by Moondog Jr. If you like their early work, you'll more than probably enjoy this album.
