The Germans were a Canadian indie rock band whose members included Julian Kado, Roman Harrison, Livingston Fagan, Aidan Koper, Steven Lappano, Jesse Foster, Michael Rozenberg, and Leon Taheny.
The band members are from various nearby Ontario cities: Mississauga, Richmond Hill, and Guelph.
[2] Most of the band members contributed to the 2006 Polaris Music Prize-winning album He Poos Clouds by Final Fantasy, which Taheny produced.
Band member Aidan Koper appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, performing a "Stupid Human Trick" in which he contorted his body through a tennis racquet while juggling.
[5] No one from the band is German, and, despite their debut album being named Cape Fear, no band member has been to Cape Fear or has seen the Robert De Niro film[2] – except for Livingston Fagan, but he had nothing to do with the naming or concept of the album.
