We sneaked a few minutes with twin brothers Bill and Tom from the German pop-rock band. They were recently in town for the Audi Fashion Festival.
You guys walked the runway for Dsquared2. Any interest in becoming fashion designers at some point?
Bill: This has always been a dream for us, and now that we are musicians, we have so many chances to work with fantastic photographers and designers. It would be a dream to design my own things. For the last tour I designed some of my own costumes too.
Besides your hairstyles, how can we tell you and Tom apart?
Bill: Tom is the serious one. He handles the business side of things. But, we're like, one person. For the first six years of our life we looked the same because our parents gave us identical sweatshirts! After that we decided we wanted to look different from each other.
How have you dealt with the success of Tokio Hotel? Has it been really crazy?
Bill: For the first few years it was really strange. We could no longer walk on the streets of Europe alone, or hang out with our friends and family the same way. We've also given up a lot of things, but the sacrifice has been worth it, because we really want to be musicians.
How long does it takes for you to get ready in the morning?
Bill: (Laughs) You know, with the hair...
Tom: Ten hours!
Bill: I practice a lot because I do this every day, so now I take about 15 minutes. You need to have a messy hair to get a style this high - so I don't brush my hair often and I use lots of hairspray.
What do you think of Singapore?
Bill: We are impressed. It's our first time here, and nobody told us how beautiful Singapore was! You have a jungle here and nice weather - Germany is just so cold! we are planning to bring the whole concert production here and do a tour, hopefully! It'll be cool to do a whole tour in Asia, and show you our Humanoid City and outfits.
