In bed with Tokio Hotel
The German band who drives little
girls crazy (but for how long?) is coming to Italy on tour. Guess where
we interviewed them?
Hands up anyone who remembers a Tokio Hotel song. If you attend middle school you'll probably be appalled right now since you know by heart
every single word. If you are older than 15, you'll be perplexed. At most someone could sing "na-na-na-na monsoon". If you belong to the
first group you're impatiently waiting for one of the next four Italian gigs. If you belong to the second one, prepare yourself to see
well-known scenes in the newscast: little girls screaming for four guys in their twenties (one with make-up and a strange haircut, one with
braids who looks like a rapper, one with short hair and one with long hair). They are Tokio Hotel, the German band who've sold the most
records during the last few years (three millions of albums sold all over the world, 700.000 just with the most recent one, Humanoid,
released last October). Even if insiders say that the band's popularity is dwindling (the four dates are not sold out like two years ago), even
if the American Rolling Stone has reviewed their new album saying that it is "melodically anemic and strangely low-key", even if Google Trends
(a feature which provides insights into broad search patterns on web) testifies that the search of the word "Tokio Hotel" is decreasing and
even if on Facebook the group called "this aubergine has more fans than Tokio Hotel" has accomplished its mission - the four boys from Magdeburg
are still conquering thousands of infatuated teenagers who are ready for anything.
