Zita Swoon entered the music scene of Antwerp, Belgium back in 1993 under the name A Beatband with the EP Jintro Travels the Word in a Skirt. The group is typical of the musicscene in Antwerp, with members playing in numerous other groups. Its best known member is Stef Kamil Carlens (who at the time was still dEUS' bassplayer as well), but the initial group also included Aarich Jespers. The same group released Everyday I Wear A Greasy Black Feather On My Hat in '95 under the name Moondog Jr., and shortly thereafter were legally forced to change their name again.
