Nervous Germans (German: Nervösen Deutschen) were a German New Wave rock band from the early 1980s.[1]

Formed in 1980,[2] in 1981 they released their debut album Nervösen Deutschen (English release: Desolation Zone 1982). Their second Album Summer of Love (1983) was also their last, they disbanded on 1 July 1984 in the aftermath of a concert in Linnich (with Mitch Ryder). The Name was suggested to Micki Meuser by Alex Londner (Aachen, Germany), possibly in view of Germany being a nuclear battlefield after the NATO Double-Track Decision.

They recorded a session with John Peel in October 1980[3] produced by Bob Sargeant (The Beat).

  • Edgar Liebert (aka Edgar de Gaulle, Drums, vocals) (Zeltinger Band/Schroeder Roadshow)
  • Grant Stevens (Lead vocals)
