In another article it is said that Tokio Hotel would play with Smashing Pumpkins in Lima (Peru) on 25th november. This article clarifies that finally Tokio Hotel will have his concert, not with another band, and it will be in December. The place could be San Marcos stadium but the place and date will be confirmed next weeks. http://vivafm.com.pe/noticias/tokio-hotel-llegaria-a-lima-en-diciembre
Singaporean fans were more than lucky as TOKIO HOTEL performed on our sunny island for the second time this year. Audrey Kua gets the band to divulge all their little secrets! читать дальше
The boys of German band Tokio Hotel may appear cool and collected onstage and in their music videos, but what are the boys really like when they're not performing? Back in Singapore to perform at SINGfest, Teenage managed to steal some face time with the band to get to know them better. Chatty identical twins, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, and their band mates, Georg Listing and Gustav Schafer were very enthusiastic when it came to talking about their second performance here (which was way more explosive than the small showcase they did previously)!
"The crowd was amazing and the show was good. It was fantastic!" lead singer Bill says. His brother adds, "It was really different because we played our last tour in winter and it was freezing cold. It was easy playing two hours in the cold, but here, we could only play one hour in the heat!"
Unfortunately, due to a packed schedule, the boys were unable to watch the other performances that came before and after them, which were Wonder Girls and Katy Perry respectively. "Most of the time when you play with other artistes on the same stage, everyone has their own schedule. You're arriving just before the show and there's not much time to watch the other performances," Bill explains, to which Tom quips cheekily, "Was there a better performance that night? No!"
Now that the boys have released two English studio albums and fulfilled their dream of performing in Asia, what's next on their agenda? "We're not planning another record yet," says Bill. "But we are always in the studio collecting ideas and making music so we already have some new material. At the moment, we're still on the road with our current album, Humanoid. We want to see Tokyo. We want to visit more Asian countries and we would have to play at more concerts here."
Tokio Hotel: The Secret Files
We break down the walls and get Tokio Hotel to spill some of their secrets!
Secret #1: Do you have nicknames for each other?
Tom: We have a couple of new nicknames for Georg. We call him "Schpecky", which means fat guy. Sometimes, we also call him "Chick Georg" because his middle name is Huhn, and that means chicken in German.
Bill: This is really exclusive. I didn't even know that myself!
Secret #2: Who are the funniest and most mature members of the group?
Georg: I'm both!
Tom: Yeah, Georg is both. He's not majorly brainy but based on age, he's the oldest and most mature one. He's also the funniest one. Unfortunately, he's not funny on purpose. He's just really clumsy.
Secret #3: Who is your celebrity crush?
Tom: I don't really have one! (Bill makes a face of disbelief)
Bill: He's so in love with Jessica Alba! His room is full of posters of her. She's everywhere.
Tom: That's not true. It's not a celebrity crush because if you ask me, she'll say that her crush is Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel.
Bill: She's married with a child!
Tom: Yeah but her celebrity crush is still Tom Kaulitz. I mean, she has a husband and all that but it's not important to her.
Bill: You know, I never hada celebrity crush. I think there are a lot of pretty female celebrities but I don't think I really had a crush on any of them. I really have to know their personalities first.
Secret #4: This question is for Bill and Tom. Have you ever woken up one morning and wondered if you should dress like your brother?
Tom: Never. We looked exactly the same during the first six years of our lives. But after that, we developed in completely different directions. we never thought of changing our styles.
Bill: The good thing is that we know how we would look if we were to dress like each other.
Tom: Yeah, and I just have to look at Bill to know what I'll look like with short hair.
Bill: And I can look at Tom and I know I don't want to look like that (shudders). I mean, when we were really young we would switch around sometimes.
Tom: We both had short hair, and we had these shirts with our names on them so that our teachers could tell us apart. Sometimes we would swap clothes when we were taking tests so that Bill, who was better at German than I am, could complete the tests for me.
Secret #5: What do you do when you're not performing?
Tom: We don't have a lot of free time, but when we have days off, we like to sleep long hours. If I didn't have an alarm clock to wake me, I could sleep for 24 hours.
Georg: Maybe even for the rest of your life!
Tom: Sleeping, eating and watching good DVDs. If we put all our DVDs together, we would have thousands of them! We are DVD collectors!

В последнее время я только и делаю, что смотрю кино. На сегодняшний день, первым в списке ожидания у меня стоит немецкое кино "Группиз не остаются на завтрак". Судя по трейлеру, это будет кино из тех, которые можно пересматривать несколько раз для поднятия настроения.. Остается ждать, когда его зальют в сеть.Ведь премьера в Германии только сегодня.
И небольшая инфа о фильме: читать дальше Кто ищет, тот находит: Лила любит Крица
Поприветствуем феномен Tokio Hotel: фильм ‘Группиз не остаются на завтрак’ рассказывает о молодой группе, которая экстремально быстро добилась экстремальной славы и вызывает у фанаток настоящую истерию. Только это не Tokio Hotel, а – сверх оригинально – Центр Берлина (Berlin Mitte) и у лидера-вокалиста Крица (Chriz) дикая прическа мечты и подведенные черным глаза, но он далеко не так экстравагантен как Билл Каулиц, который внешне кажется женственным.
По названию фильма можно догадаться о сюжете: это история любви. Криц (Kostja Ullmann, ‘Летний шторм’/'Sommersturm’) случайно знакомится с Лилой (Anna Fischer, обладательница награды Adolf Grimme за роль в фильме ‘Скрытое слово’ / ‘Teufelsbraten’) и очень нехило удивляется, когда замечает, что она вообще ничего не знает о его успехе. Причина этому – Лила была год в США, а шумиха вокруг группы Berlin Mitte туда не дошла. Суперпредпосылки для надежного любовного счастья, если бы не менеджер Крица Пауль (Roman Knižka) и ревность фанаток. Для Лилы на кону ее любимая обычная жизнь, для Крица – его карьера. Главным образом это молодежный фильм, который появится в кинотеатрах 16 сентября. Найдено здесьhttp://nicky-blog.ru/post134977869/?upd
Lead singer, German fashion icon, part-time model, and clothing designer, Bill Kaulitz has a style all his own. The Tokio Hotel frontman talks about what inspires his look and how he travels in style with Buzznet.
Bill Kaulitz: I don’t have a particular idol. There are many different people though who I like and get inspired by. Working with Karl Lagerfeld for instance was great. I adore him. I’m also a huge fan of Hedi Slimane. When it comes to music and appearance Steven Tyler is really impressive!
BN: What is your absolute favorite item of clothing?
BK: That’s a really tough question because there’s barely anything that I can spare while I’m on the road. I don’t have a specific piece of clothing – I simply need it all which is why I bring 10 to 20 suitcases with me. By now, my closets look almost like a clothing store. Even though I find it a little insane myself, I enjoy it a lot.
BN: What fashion trend do you wish would just go away already?
BK: Fur!!! I find it horrible that so many animals get killed for fashion because that’s not how it needs to be. Buying items made of artificial leather or artificial fur from the well know designers is not an easy thing, but when I get items custome made I always make sure that no animals are used for them.My hope is that the big and more expensive lables will start working like this and some more animals will be saved.
BN: Describe your look in three words or less
BK: I’m afraid that’s something I can’t do and would also limit myself too much. Every morning when I’m getting dressed I’d have to stick to exactly these three words. An absolutely horrible thought! I’ll leave it to someone else to make up the three words.
BN: If your style had a theme song, what would it be?
