Celebrate the Nun were a German synth-pop band founded by H.P. Baxxter, Rick J. Jordan, Baxxter's sister Britt Maxime, and Slin Tompson, real name Nils Enghusen, who had previously played with The P.O.X. Baxxter sang lead, and Jordan handled keyboards and backing vocals, and together they made moody, glossy electronic pop with one eye on the dance floor and the other on the gloomy romance of the new wave.
Meanwhile, their 1989 album, gave them "Will You Be There?", a yearning synth ballad that crossed over to rock radio's countdowns, its cool, chiming keyboards set against Baxxter's earnest croon.
The band didn't last, but its members weren't done: some of them went on to form Scooter.
