Nena

German New Wave / synthpop band, active from 1982 to 1987. Fronted by singer Gabriele "Nena" Kerner (see [a546203]), the group also featured Jörn-Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen (keyboards), Carlo Karges (guitar), Jürgen Dehmel (bass) and Rolf Brendel (drums). In 1984 they had an international hit with the end-of-the-world fantasy "99 Luftballons", but were unable to capitalise on its success. Attention! Credits for the band [a39774] and the solo artist [a9259834] go to separate profiles. The band split up in 1987 after [m144630]. Credits after that are generally referring to [a9259834] the solo artist, except from re-releases, compilations (like [m233546], [m330499]). Credits mentioning full name "Nena Kerner" go to [a546203], while those with last name "Kerner" only, or "Gabriele Kerner" go to [a734600]. Using Nena Kerner > ANV "Nena" is not allowed. For compilations containing both band and solo tracks, credit [a9259834] solo as main artist, unless the artwork is clearly implying otherwise. Each track on the compilation must then be attributed individually.
