TOKIO HOTEL CLOSES DOORS ON 2008 SCREAM AND MONSOON

Tokio Hotel played its last headling gig in 2008 in New York City, closing the door on Monsoon and Scream.

Tokio Hotel recently finished up their U.S. tour with a show at Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Thursday, October 30, and it was their last date in support of their album, Scream. The group took home the Best New Artist award at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, and the band may just be sad to see the year end.

We sat down with the guys during their visit and 18 year old brothers, vocalist Bill and guitarist Tom Kaulitz, talked about the show.

The duo said that it’s time for something new.

“We were really excited to play New York again, but it was also kind of sad because it was our last show with this record for this year, the last (show of our own). We’re coming back in December, but it’s not our own show. It was kind of sad, but it… It was great. It was a bigger venue than the last time. The crowd was good, and we were good. Yeah, I think it was a really good show.”

Tokio Hotel have one more gig this year December 5 at Phooson in Phoenix Arizona.

“We played ‘Monsoon’ so many times now, I think for three years, and I think it’s really time for a new record. I think you feel it. You feel it on stage that you want to go with new songs, and yeah, I think new songs are really important for us.”
