Tokio Hotel @ Avalon
Who the #@!* Are...Tokio Hotel
Part Jonas Brothers, part anime characters, all German — introducing the wild-maned rockers who are making teens Scream Stateside and overseas.
Meet Bill. He's androgynously rakish, has an explosive coiffure that would make Jon Bon Jovi ache, and sings glam-emo songs. In fact, Bill's band is as big in Germany as the Jonas Brothers are here. And with a rabid teen-girl following quickly amassing Stateside, 18-year-old Bill Kaulitz's group, Tokio Hotel (ages 18 to 20), has also become a flamboyant alternative for American teens looking to wean themselves off the vanilla stylings of the Nickelodeon and Disney preppy puppy-dog acts.
