demolishing the myths....song by song

Nervous Germans are back with their own special version of alternative loud guitar rock. As a prelude to their 2014 album VOLATILE, Friday the 13th of December 2013 sees the release of the EP PRELOVED, a collection of 4 cover versions of songs the band simply have fun playing. Songs taken from the past and present that allow the soaring guitar skills and punch in the throat vocals of Nervous Germans free rein.

The energy that leaps from the speakers right from the beginning of Run Boy Run proves that a cover version can develop a life of its own away from the original. Stripped down to acoustic and electric guitars gives the following song, Garbage’s I’m only happy when it rains, an immediacy that the passing of time perhaps obscured.

Eloise without the orchestra? Great songs don’t need 'em. Just listen!

Armageddon, the closer, doesn’t give you any time to recover from the sheer might of Eloise so just hang on for the 3 minute 58 second ride....then take a deep breath and press play start once more.

Summer In Scotland - Loch Lomond

Strictly limited 10" EP (1000 hand numbered units worldwide). Tonight we take it slow sung by Grant Stevens.

This Soundtrack was recorded in 2014 for the digitally restored re-release of the 1971/72 Wim Wenders Movie „Die Angst des Tormanns beim Elfmeter“ („The Goalie’s Anxiety At The Penalty Kick“), due to an rights issue with the Music originally used in the Movie the Soundtrack had partly to be replaced.

Michael Beckmann was asked to put a band (Lovegrove) together with whom he wrote new songs and lyrics.

To emulate the sound of the Sixties the band worked only with instruments and recording techniques from the 50’s & 60’s.

My new tune with the Lucky Luke is OUT NOW via Lithuania HQ!

Felt good to blend styles with Luke to create something deeper and darker than usual with a twist of 'old school Budin'.

All I Want is my sanity - Remix

Only a handful of German bands from any era have managed releases in the U.K., USA and most of Europe without actually landing a hit. Nervous Germans achieved this with bravado, signing to Vertigo in Germany, releasing albums and singles on Rondolet in Britain and Shatter Records in the States. 
Their vinyl releases are still highly prized and priced ebay booty today. Nervous Germans played a string of legendary gigs in Germany, Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, France and England.
At the invitation of BBC legend John Peel Nervous Germans were invited into BBC’s Maida Vale Studio to record 4 tracks with producer Bob Sargeant and engineer Nick Gomm for a John Peel Session which was broadcast on 14th October 1980. A rare honour and as was heard at the time ...“not bad for a bunch of krauts“. 
Nervous Germans are first and foremost Australian singer Grant Stevens and German bassist and composer Micki Meuser. The band toured in varying line ups from 1979 until 1984 when it all came to an abrupt end following a festival performance that included Mitch Ryder and Aswad. Stevens and Meuser both now live in Berlin and have breathed life back into the old beast. They have found worthy partners in Gary Schmalzl on guitar and drummer Sabine Ahlbrecht who bring the right ingredients to make Nervous Germans an act to reckon with. 
The 5 year history of Nervous Germans song material provides around half of the current repertoire, new songs make up the rest. One obvious conclusion on hearing the old mixed with the new is that Nervous Germans was a band ahead of its time and listening today, sounds very “now“. 
In summer 1984 Meuser & Stevens finally pulled the plug and Nervous Germans were no more.......until today....the phoenix arises.
