Video: “Through
the Monsoon”
(Tokio
Hotel)
This is the official videoclip for
Monsoon, the english version of "Durch den Monsun".
Tokio Hotel is a German rock band. The
quartet has scored four
number one singles, two number one albums have sold nearly 3 million
CDs and DVDs in their homeland.
So far they have had much chart success in Germany
and Austria. They also had some chart success in France, Italy, Israel,
Sweden, Belgium, and Switzerland. However, they have had little chart
success in English-speaking
countries despite having released English language versions of Scream
and Ready, Set, Go! in the UK.
Twin
brothers Tom and Bill Kaulitz met Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing
after a concert in Magdeburg. Originally formed in 2001 under the name
Devilish, the band began playing in talent shows and small concerts.
After Bill Kaulitz's participation in a children's Star Search in 2003
(which he lost in the quarter-final), he was discovered by music
producer Peter Hoffmann. Devilish changed their name to Tokio Hotel
("Tokio", the German language spelling of the city Tokyo, Japan, which
they love, and "Hotel", due to their constant touring and sleeping in
hotels), and Sony BMG
took them under contract. Hoffmann hired David Jost and Pat Benzner
into the team of creators and authors, and had them give the children
instruction on songwriting and instrument playing. However, shortly
before publication of the first album, Sony terminated their contract.
In 2005, Universal Music Group took Tokio Hotel under contract and
developed a marketing plan. Several DJ's such as Basement Jaxx, Melodik
Pinpon, Bob Sinclar and Givichy Universal have remixed Tokio Hotel
songs.
