Tokio Hotel In Bravo [Issue 30]

Tokio Hotel are in Issue 30 or BRAVO. The magazine talks about there current European tour [now sadly over], their upcoming US tour and Tokio Hotel's new album that they will soon be recording!

Zwillinge --> Brillinge

Tokio Hotel - They really have the look out!
At an open-air-concert in Rome, the super-twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz (both 18) proved once again, that they’ve style-technically the fully perspective! The two Tokio-Hotel-Stars wearing at their gig in Italy’s capital not only extreme cool clothes, but also mega-phat sunglasses! That makes not just sense in matters fashion - also has a practical benefit. ‘Cause thanks to the dark glasses, the “Brillinge**” are perfectly protected by the spotlight and the glaring pyro-effects, so they could focus on the performance of their mega-hits “Monsoon”, “Scream” or “Ready, Set, Go!”.
Reaction of the Italian fans: scream-alarm!

**Brillinge is a mix between the German words Brille (glasses) and Zwillinge (twins)

Band Update!:

Georg, Bill, Tom and Gustav are on European-tour at the moment - in the next time they will play in Italy, Switzerland and Belgium. After this, the four are going into the studio to work on their third album. Bill (18) writes on the way all his song-ideas down, handles them with the team into new songs. Summer holiday is not in sight for the boys. ‘Cause they have to prepare themselves for the next US-trip. “MTV TRL USA” is planning a whole week with Tokio Hotel as from the 4th August. After this will follow an US-tour.

Twins are Voted Style Icons!

The concert Saturday evening at the Parc des Princes undoubtedly marks the dedication of these young unrestrained rockers: Tokio Hotel has never been so up/on top…. From Trabendo to the Parc des Princes in just two years, only one of many records erupted by Tokio Hotel. Bringing an entire generation to sing along in German, when even Kraftwerk had capitulated there, know how to impose guitars at a time when they are considered to be overtaken by the keyboard, implode all record sales and rekindle the flickering flame of “manias” as in the good old days of the Beatles mania, all this was reached by the kids of Tokio Hotel.

Tokio Hotel defeat Trainer Jogi Löw
17th July 08

Tom and Bill have been voted #1 on Welt Online’s list of the Top 50 Most Stylish German Men.

WELT ONLINE has the style icons choice - and fierce debates among readers triggered. Top 50 German women and men were voted, the displeasure of many commentators Tokio Hotel. Their critics must now brave. And hopefully, with the women’s choice not a problem.

Who does it in style? Who makes the world beautiful, cool, modern? The WELT ONLINE wanted to know, thousands have voted. Men and women of all ages, we had to vote in the Lords about as serious celebrities like Roger Cicero and Wolfgang Joop. Tokio Hotel we had with the recommendation “because hundreds of thousands of teenagers can not be wrong” on the list. And lo and behold: The youth have triumphed, with an enormous lead the Kaulitz brothers landed in 1st place Kajalstift, Stinktiermähne, dreadlocks - as is now so stylish.

[article]

Glam-rockers Tokio Hotel have announced dates for a summer headlining run through North America behind the band’s English-language debut, “Scream.”


The German quartet–lead singer Bill Kaulitz, guitarist Tom Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schafer and bassist Georg Listing–is making another attempt on American markets this year after canceling its spring tour following an injury to Kaulitz’s vocal chords (and subsequent surgery to remove a cyst).

The group will kick off the upcoming run Aug. 7 in Sayreville, NJ, and plans to visit 11 cities on the trek, which runs through late August. Details are below.

“Scream,” released May 6 in the United States, contains English versions of songs from the band’s previous German-language albums, 2005’s “Schrei” and last year’s “Zimmer 483.” Although the new album–which is sold as “Room 483″ in German-speaking territories, the English translation of “Zimmer 483″–has performed well in Europe, selling more than 600,000 copies to date, the band has struggled to gain popular success in the US, although the group has attracted a ground swelling of support due to its theatrical live act.

Formed in Magdeburg, Germany in 2001, Tokio Hotel has scored four No. 1 singles and two No. 1 albums in its native Germany, and has sold more than 3 million CDs and DVDs combined, according to a press release.

Tokio Hotel will be in a show called "Freeway Balconies"
by Collier Schorr in Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin. (Museum)

Freeway Balconies ranges in mediums from photography to sculpture and installation to video art. The exhibition explores the performative impulse so operative in today's innovative forms while playing off a pop-infused, contemporary American vernacular. In doing so, Schorr acknowledges a select group of elders that includes Bruce Nauman, Yvonne Rainer, and Adrian Piper. Their deployment of performance and specifically the location of art on the site of the artist's body can be observed in the works of a younger generation of artists represented by Francesca Woodman, Ryan Trecartin, and Aki Sasamoto. Sara Gilbert's intimate photographs of her friend and actor Leonardo DiCaprio taken at an earlier moment of superstardom are joined to the high drama of Rachel Rabhan's anonymous students and Elaine Stocki's curiously choreographed strangers, with Leigh Ledare's poignant images of his almost-famous mother hovering somewhere in between. Schorr shares the pop-punk band Tokio Hotel with Raymond Pettibon and actress Brooke Shields with Richard Prince. Shinique Smith's fan mail to actor Johnny Depp, an attempt at closeness with her object of admiration, finds an analogue in Karen Kilimnik's improvised cosmetic self-improvements to resemble other stars, while Matt Saunders's videos provide yet another take on idol worship. In this arena, Rashawn Griffin's lumbering garbage-bag bear stands a chance against David Altmejd's monumental giant. Sharon Hayes and Adam Pendleton invoke the spirit of 1960s activism and rock 'n' roll, complicated by cultural amnesia as appropriations out of time.

Geneva Concert Review

[You have probably read this review from the American Fansite, however the translation was quite odd, so we had to go back to the source and edit basically the whole thing. It should make a lot more sense now] A night of madness - July 14, 2008 Ten thousand fans came to wildly applaud Tokio Hotel Saturday in Geneva. No injuries took place but many people fainted. The singer of Tokio Hotel, Bill Kaulitz, is the favorite of young audiences who invaded Arena. Icon of juvenile rock, the German band, Tokio Hotel performed Saturday evening in Geneva. The quartet played for 90 minutes in front of 10,000 delirious fans, mostly teenage girls. There were no injuries but 375 fainted. “Some 90 people had fainted even before the doors opened on Saturday,” said the organizer of the concert Michael Drieberg. “They felt such pressure … the emotional health staff took care of all these people, putting them back on their feet. Lots of them returned back to the hall. I am pleased that there were no injuries and no evacuations. We had a clinic with 60 beds and three ambulances. ” Suffocating heat Some fans have camped for several days before the Arena to secure places at the front. Since 15:00, almost all the public was already at the gates of the building. In the courtroom, the air quickly becomes suffocating. While the parterre, 6000 people hurrying to the scene, children, accompanied by their parents. All of a sudden, the lights go out and the clamor rises. The hall is then lit with only the glow of thousands of mobile phones. The screams intensify as soon as the young Germans appear. Breathtaking smile Shortly after, the singer Bill Kaulitz removes his jacket, leaving him in jeans and a red t-shirt. Behind him, on a screen, images of clouds were projected. After three songs, Bill addressed the public: “Wie geht’s euch?” (How are you?). In response, teddy bears rain on the scene. The entire evening, the band obviously had much pleasure performing. Their well-functioning performance left little room for improvisation. The contrast was quite surprising between the dark look and makeup and Bill Kaulitz's natural, breathtaking smile. He still seemed surprised at the success of his group. “This is the best thing that could ever happen to us,” said Bill in substance. “Traveling and being able to go to so many cities. Thank you.” Shining faces The fans regularly sing along the songs with the singer. Towards the end of the concert, Tokio Hotel performed “Durch den Monsun” (Through the Monsoon) the title which became a hit in 2005. The band took leave of their fans with “An deiner Seite” (By your side). At the exit of the hall, the faces were illuminated. Several spectators were already looking at their photos taken during the concert, something which will remain a big event for them for a long time. The concert was going to sell out. Originally scheduled for March 21, it had to be postponed because of an operation of the singer's vocal cords. (Source: lenouvelliste.ch)

Tokio Hotel Triumphs in the Whole World!

From Sugar Magazine in Portugal! Tokio Hotel has razed wherever they go! But we have no doubts Portugal was special! Tokio Hotel gave everything and you popgirls were awesome!!!

The world has completely surrender to the music of our four dream boys. Tokio Hotel has performed in concert all over the world and drag thousands of fans till they arrived to Portugal. We’ve waited this day for so long that even inside Atlantic Pavilion we still couldn’t believe the hour had came! While the lights didn’t went out they told us everything they felt till they got here!

The incredible four!
“We’ve had many important moments in our career and we had many luck but, sometimes, it’s still hard to believe it!” Our beautiful ones still don’t believe that we’re crazy about them, because it’s impossible not to be! Since Bill got better they don’t stop and we asked them if they don’t feel tired? “There’s moments in which we say “we can’t anymore”, but we love this life” they confessed to us.

A Special Concert!
Everything went dark and we realized: the time has come! As the big letters at the bottom of Atlantic Pavilion said: “True fans will always came back!” We went wild with excitement just on the first accords: «Break Away»! Bill came out as a God in the platform next to Gustav’s drums! They followed with «Final Day» and «1000 Oceans» and we could not stop enjoying! “Hello everyone! The last time we were here I found out I was sick and I felt very sad when the doctor told me I couldn’t perform. We are really sorry! So we just wish you enjoy to the maximum every second!” told Bill! The perfect phrase to begin «Live Every Second»! It was awesome!!!

We will never forget!
Bill didn’t stop dancing, singing next to Tom, who smiled like an angel, to Georg, that was perfect, and Gustav that was brilliant in the drums! He jumped and pulled so much for us! We had «Ready, Set, Go», «Monsoon» and «Raise your Hands»! We lived one of the best days of our lives! They returned twice on stage and ended with «By your Side»! Surprised by the portuguese fans that raised thousands of papers saying: «Wir sind Hier» (we are here)! Beautiful! And you were great! Unforgettable!!!

Unique in the Planet!!!
Bill has been perfect! At the Lisbon concert, he was always super fun and didn’t stop pushing for us! We went wild with excitement when he took the megaphone on «Scream», and we almost fainted when he sat next to the band to play an acoustic version of «Rescue Me»! Georg, that was great, came to the front of the stage at the end! It was super funny!!!

Great Musicians!!!
Besides gorgeous and full of energy our beautiful ones played as no one! We couldn’t believe how the musics came out even more perfect live! And Bill’s voice?! Our german God is completely healed! He sang as no one with his super cool micro full of sparkles! The lights and the screens were perfect! Brilliant!!!

So sweet!!!
Tokio disappeared and we… got scared! But we melted when on screen they began to show videos from when they were super young and were already a band! We were lost seeing such cuties and they came back powerfully with musics such as «Black», «On the Edge», «Reden», «Heiling» and «Geh»! It was awesome!!!

Unstoppable till the end!!!
Tom and Georg are been the greatest on this tour!!! In Atlantic they played very good, between runs along the stages and huge stops in front of the screens, that made us drool! And the Tom’s mysterious smile, while he played…

In the end, they both stayed thanking, playing with us, letting us crazy! They thrown towels, water and the reeds with which they played! Thanks for everything, beautifuls!!!
