Waaaaaaaaaaaay back, in 1983/84 - German new wave group Nena was Germany's hottest export, and had reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with their single "99 Luftballons".
Because they weren't comfortable recording in English, they were a one-hit wonder here, despite having numerous hits across Europe. In 2003, Nena's lead signer (also Nena) had a career revival with the 30th anniversary release of her material, redone in different styles.
Aside from occasional shows back in the 80s, Nena never toured America.
Imagine my surprise when I signed onto Facebook to have an alert about an upcoming event.....Nena doing US shows. I got a ticket for her stop in NYC in October.
;D
southendmd:
No, no, Nena.
Not the Leadballoon lady? Coming to the US?
Oy, Germany should keep her.
CellarDweller:
Yup, that Nena! I'll be at her show in NYC!
