TOKIO HOTEL CHECKS INTO ISLAND HOTEL FOR CHRISTMAS

Tokio Hotel has checked themselves into lodging for their Christmas island vacations…

Tokio Hotel had a big year in 2008, and the “Monsoon” that the band caused left them with an MTV Music Video Award and cemented them as a certified underground force in music. While not certifiable pop stars their brand of pop and rock gave the German band worldwide success.

The band recently returned home and Bill and Tom Kaulitz talked about how they spend their Christmas.

[Bill] “Every year we have two weeks off and then we travel to… Tom and me, we always travel always to little islands but most of the time New Year’s we’re not at home. We’re somewhere else just chilling at the beach. Christmas we are all at our families together and celebrate and meet friends.” [Tom] “But the plan is to… I think we fly back to Germany and we go into the studio and write songs, record songs…” [Bill] “…and Christmas just chilling with our loved ones…” [Tom] “…and after Christmas we go right back into the studio.”

Tokio Hotel recently released a DVD titled Tokio Hotel TV, which chronicles their life on stage and behind-the-scenes. A deluxe edition of the set contains a second disc entitled Future – The road to the new Album, and it features footage of the band on promotion tours and preparing for their third studio album. The band hopes to finish the new album by summer of 2009.
