“America meet Tokio Hotel. The gender-bending emo-pop
rockers are headed up by eighteen-year-old German twins Bill and
Tom Kaulitz, whose looks are identical but whose styles
couldn’t be more different. “We hate people telling us
to wear this and that,” says guitarist Tom, who favors
dreads, baggy jeans, and a carefully skewed baseball cap.
“Sometimes at a photo shoot they try to style this
hair,” singer Bill says, pointing to his hedgehog-like
coiffure, “but no one knows how.” His secret?
“Hair spray. A lot.” Between the hair and emotive
vocals–not to mention the piercings, tattoos, and rock-chic
clothes–it’s easy to see how Bill has become the object
of many a teenage crush. And despite their varied senses of style,
the Kaulitzes say their twin telepathy provides a shared vision of
their goals for the future. “Be successful in America!”
Tom says. Adds Bill, with a grin: “And play in
Tokio.”
