German Rock Band Tokio Hotel Making “Scream” Music Buzz

Tagged With:

Tokio Hotel makes a buzz in America.

Not too many music bands make the front pages of the New York Times; however, not every band is the Rock German quartet known as Tokio Hotel.

The Associated Press reports that the international famed boy band have started to create a frenzied teen buzz here in the States. Recently having completed a successful U.S. promotional tour in support of their first American CD release, Scream, the band hopes to replicate their worldwide popularity and music sales which currently totals over two million.

Being the first German band to enter the U.S. Billboard charts in over 20 years, the band’s public awareness can be mostly attributed to the Internet, where, for example, they are currently the top searched music band signed to a label on YouTube. Besides having over 100,000 videos on the Internet, the band also features weekly filmed updates on the Web, are visually diverse in appearance, and are all under the age of 20.

Having formed in 2001, with over seven years in the music business, Tokio Hotel have now set their sites and hopes on becoming successful in America.

    nice but I hate when reporters get their facts wrong! so lazy. Georg is 21, they’re not a ‘boy band,’ and they’ve sold over three million… but I like that they left it at ‘rock German quartet’ instead of tacking on the usual ‘emo/glam/pop/goth/blablablanonsense’. Anyway I suppose most publicity is more or less good publicity.

    @ Nicole B, no they aren’t in the current Ny Times. The article refers to the NY Times cover/article from February.
