Tokio Hotel WW146 (TH News)

Meet Bill. He's androgynously rakish, has an explosive coiffure that would make Bon Jovi ache, and sings glam-emo songs. In fact, Bill's bamnd is as big in German as the Jonas Brothers arer here. And with a rabid teen-girl following quickly amassing Stateside, 18-year old Kaulitz's group, Tokio Hotel, (ages 18 to 20) has also become a flamboyant alternative for american teens looking to wean themselves off of the vailla-style Nickelodeon and Disney preppy puppy-dog acts.

Earlier this month, Tokio, who have moved nearly 3 millon CD's worldwide, releasesd theor english language album 'Scream' (an apprporos title if you've ever caught one of their live shows), but thanks to the American buzz, American fans got swept up in the hype last fall. 'We just write about the stuff that happens to us' says Kaulitz, about the against-all anthems of 'Monsoon' and 'Ready Set Go'. 'Fans connect to the lyrics'. The also, it seems, want to connect with the band. 'When we're playing a show, they sleep outside in front of the venue two nights before we're even there!' he marvels, before adding 'I get the most girls, but I'm not the type that actually likes to mess around.' Parents, be warned: Tokio Hotel with hit the road this summer.

So what's Kaulitz most psyched about as he prepares for his first tour over here? 'Well, in LA there's In-N-Out Burgers. I'm the biggest fan of that.'

(Keep in mind that this isn't Tokio Hotel's doing, it's the Live Music Production, organizer of the concert. But this concert is in about a month, so maybe they'll change their mind by then?)


Camping in Dortmund has begun! (concert takes place on June 13th)
