in the media

Here is an archive of all the media appearances known to me (thanks to the hard work of Paul and many others). Being in England, I don't hear much, so I'd be grateful for your help by letting me know when you hear anything (however small) about them in your local or national press - send me a transcription and I'll put it online. Corrections are also welcome zitainfo@mandarinmedia.com

Many thanks! Share the wealth.

Tuesday 21^st December	Regional News Flash, Portugese TV	" They started to show a piece about the consumption of alcohol by the young ones and suddenly.....an image came and I thought well something is familiar there I took a good look and it was an image shot in Bairro Alto in Lisbon, where you can see a group of people siting on the ground and talking, in the middle was Mr. Stef Kamil Carlens :-))) Around him were some Portuguese fans talking to Stef. The image lasted for about 7 seconds. It was funny because it was completely unexpected." Polido

		" I was there, it was when Zita Swoon came to Lisbon for the Semana Academica. We were sitted in front of the Catacumbas bar. I remember two guys taping us, and that pissed off Stef KC, because he thought that they were taping him (the very famous singer Stef Kamil Carlens :-) ). It was kinda obvious it was just a coincidence, but the situation was rather comic. I remember we talked about dEUS, and I remember Stef mentioning Magdalena. He said he liked that song." Stephane

Tuesday 31 August 1999	MTV Europe/Nordic	" MTV:new (one of the greatest shows on MTV) finished the show today with Zita Swoon's "Disco".. that's great, cause MTV never shows Zita Swoon or anything dEUS-related. Actually they never show dEUS at all (well sometimes but not much). Anyway, I was really surprised, and it's a pretty good song, but the video is a total dEUS rip-off it's like 'Instant Street' with 'Theme from Turnpike'." Noam
