Feb 18th & 19th

If you had found yourself on Irving Place on Monday afternoon you might have noticed a few hundred amped-up & eager fans (mainly young, almost exclusively female) standing in line. And you might have wondered what was going on.

The occasion was the first New York performance by Tokio Hotel, a German act that scrambles musical categories in a way that feels ideally suited to the current era. Why shouldn’t fans go nuts for a goth-punk-rock-shock pop band? Could be the sexy lead with spectacular hair, Bill Kaulitz? The suductive B-boy guitarist with dreads, Tom (Bill's twin)? The  muscled bassist (Georg) or drummer (Gustav)? Possibly. But these boys are more then thier looks. The talent of this band brings that to attention right quick!

 In April they plan to release their first American album, "Scream" (Cherrytree/Interscope). Thier Monday performance was one of a few concerts, including one in Los Angeles last Friday designed to introduce the band in this country.  Tokio Hotel regularly tops the charts in Germany and has had hits throughout Europe. On Monday night no introduction was needed; most of those fans had already discovered the band online.
