I'd like to introduce you all to one of my favorite bands, Tokio Hotel!
Tokio Hotel is a German rock band that started in 2001 and is still ongoing. Their band consist of Gustav Schafer(left), Bill Kaulitz (center left), Tom Kaulitz (center right), and Georg Listing (right).
The majority of their songs were written by their lead vocalist (Bill) in collaboration with some of their producers. They've released four number one singles and two number one albums. Their very first song, "Durch den Monsun" and "Schrei" earned them the Best Newcomer award in Germany. Just in 2007, the band has won 15 awards from various European countries.
For those of you who are interested in hearing some of their work, here are some Youtube links to their videos:
Video 1: Spring Nicht (Don't Jump)
Video 2: Durch Den Monsun (Through the Monsoon)
Video 3: Übers Ende Der Welt (Ready Set Go!)
Well there you have it, my favorite German band. If any of you are a bit wary because they are German, don't worry! There are English versions for nearly all of their songs! Either way, Bill sung very beautifully in both versions.
The band will be having a "1000 Hotel Tour" in 2008. When their tickets were released, most sold out within the hour in countries all around Europe. Let's cross our fingers and hope that they decide to visit the U.S.!

Why did they spell it "Tokio"?
