BILLY – beginning instead of end
Soul and sensuality: Bill Kaulitz, 27, Now almost alone”

“California High” is the title of the third single and video of Billy‘s debut EP. Under the direction of Shiro Gutzie, @shirogutzie (Instagram), the viewer follows Bill Kaulitz @billisnotok (Instagram) aka Billy and Hollywood actress Chanel Celaya, @chanelcelaya21 (Instagram) on their cruise through the streets and gorges of Los Angeles in Nightly summer torn. The short film to the pulsating, moody solo track is supported by disturbing longing for “her” instead of “love”. Hope accompanies the end of the clip when the sun rises above the City of Angels – and everything turns back to the beginning.

Interview: Bill und Tom Kaulitz von Tokio Hotel
“We had to save ourselves”

They were teenie superstars, at Tokio Hotel in 2005 and 2006. Then they fled the screaming fans to Los Angeles. A conversation with Bill and Tom Kaulitz about how their stars have changed.

Stuttgart – Tokio Hotel were never really gone. Today, however, they make electronic music and (1/2) live in Los Angeles. In the interview, they tell you why they escaped to America before their fans and what freefom they have today.

Hello Bill, hello Tom, 2006 I was with you at a concert in the Stuttgarter Schleyerhalle. There were very many very young, very loud screaming girls. In 2017 you play in Wizemann. Who is coming to your concerts today?

Tom: Today as then – people with a good taste of music.

Bill: There are many who have grown up with us. They have been with us since we released our first song in 2005. This is probably a nostalgic thing. There are new people, too, because the music is quite different now.

How did you develop yourself musically over the past few years?

TOKIO HOTEL on DREAM MACHINE Tour

Cologne – As early as mid-September, Tokio Hotel published the tour dates of their new world tour “Dream Machine”, which will begin on March 12, 2017 in London. But the new album of the German electro-indie-quartet was the best-kept secret of the music industry. And on your tour Tokio Hotel are also in Cologne

Not a bit of music came into the public. One day before Christmas Eve, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing start the pre-orders for their new fifth studio album and give a first outlook on their new art project.

With the pre-order of “Dream Machine” you get the album track “Something New”, with its epochal sound world from analog synths and wide soundscapes an impressive pre-taste to the new sound world of the band. Bill Kaulitz: “When we did the album, I was always worried about living my life backwards.

To the question whether you have already felt everything, everything has happened, everything has reached your career, whether you can still feel something new and, above all, whether we are able to change our world and create something new. We’ve gone back to our roots when it comes to work – Tom and I have written and produced all the songs. It was important for us to make only the music that feels like us – and for that we completely changed perspective.”.

“Something New” proves that Tokio Hotel has succeeded again and again after more than a decade in the international music business, 70 platinum, 160 gold editions, more than 110 international and national awards, and more than 7 million sold phonograms. “Dream Machine” is anything but a risk to play the music career of Tokio Hotel backwards, but is the new sound milestone in their history.
