  • Zita Swoon ist eine siebenköpfige belgische Indie-Rock-Band. Sie wurde Anfang der 1990er Jahre in Antwerpen von Stef Kamil Carlens und Schlagzeuger Aarich Jespers gegründet. Carlens widmete sich in der Anfangszeit noch verstärkt seiner damaligen Hauptband dEUS. 1993 erschien das erste Werk der zunächst noch unter dem Namen A Beatband firmierenden Gruppe, die EP Jintro Travels the Word in a Skirt. Für das erste Album Everyday I Wear A Greasy Black Feather On My Hat wurde der Name in Moondog Jr. geändert. Da dies allerdings zu Problemen mit dem Komponisten Moondog führte, nannte sich die Band erneut um und ist seitdem unter dem Namen Zita Swoon bekannt. 1996 verließ Carlens dEUS, seitdem erschienen mehrere Alben auf verschiedenen Labels.
