Bill and Tom at Much Music in Canada - adorable pictures and an interview to follow, over here.
In an article by Web.de, they reveal Tokio Hotel are regarded as bigger than Rammstein and want to take over Asia and South America next! Thanks to THUS for translations:
Just unbelievable, what kind of movement our hottest music export makes in America.
The success story of the Kaulitzs sounds like the beginning of a book. Now they are playing small gigs in sold out clubs like the Fillmore in New York, where also Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Frank Zappa have performed. As can be seen in February, the New York Times showed painted faces on their front page of their issue.
Then they performed at US-music station MTV, where they promoted their English album Scream on 6 May. After that they had a great turn out of screaming fans at their CD signing in Times Square.
Followed by a performance on the great Late Night Show. That’s what the boys did last Saturday night at Conan O’Brien, which in America is the place to be for hilarious moments. They performed their success hit: Ready, Set, Go, and straightened the road to great success.
Only the language barrier has turned out as a little obstacle, while singer Bill hasn’t really got the natural talent for English.
“To really bear his English singing you really have to be carefree,” tells brother Tom, after the Rolling Stone’s gentle judgment, Bill’s extraordinary pronunciation only makes Tokio Hotel more charming. Now, with their TV performance they have a German premiere. The US market is really hard for foreign artists, even the English artist Robbie Williams was completely ignored in America, same goes for Australian Kylie Minogue, that didn’t even make it into the top 100 of the charts with her new album.
From Germany Nena had a hit with “99 luftballons”. The Scorpions had a top 10 hit with “wind of charge”, Rammstein had some little success.
But no German has ever made the big break.
Outside Tokio Hotel? Universal chief Briegmann tells to FAZ: “As it looks now we are gonna enter in the top 50 Billboard charts.” And once America is conquered it will go much further. Next year Briegmann wanna take over Asia and South America.
Tokio Hotel donated €20,000 to a children's charity for socially and economically disadvantaged children. [Source]
