Congratulations guys The band were not at the award show in person, but recorded two video messages to say thank you.
Elsewhere, #HappyBdayKaulitzTwins has been trending worldwide on Twitter for quite some time. And the band have also been voted BEST BAND in the Spin.com 25th Anniversary Readers Poll!
Everyone at THUKST would like to wish our favourite twins a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
We know how much they’ve been looking foward to this birthday and we hope they’re having a great day, whatever they are doing. They’ve given us so much happiness, and so many amazing memories, so today we hope they have the fantastic birthday they deserve!
Blast from the past: here’s another old Bravo translation for you. It’s a bit random and about the things that Bill loves and hates. The top secret photos the twins apparently took of each other are a funny little tidbit.

Today is the last day of our “Ready, Set, Go!” UK release anniversary week. We hope everybody has downloaded the song already. If not or you want to download it again, just go here:
Of course we also dug up another online interview from 2007 for you. This one was posted on glasswerk.co.uk.
Get ready—Germany’s most successful rock band Tokio Hotel are set to cross the English Channel this summer, and send the youth of Great Britain into a frenzy. Their debut English single ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ is out on August 20th through Fascination Records. Glasswerk’s Ben Rimmer caught up with the Kraut rockers before they attempt to win the UK over following unprecedented success in Europe.
Even though the actual anniversary day was yesterday we said we’d make a download week out of it so here we go for a few more days… If you haven’t downloaded Ready, Set, Go! yet or want to download it some more, just keep going.
Today we dug up an interview that was posted exclusive to the Official UK Site at the end of July/beginning of August 2007. It was in three parts and there is no original source link to it anymore (since the official sites got the new design).

Exclusive Interview With TH: Part 1
Tokio Hotel took some time out of their extremely busy schedules to answer some questions exclusively for this website.
Click “read more” to see all the questions and answers.
Near the UK release date of “Ready, Set, Go” Tokio Hotel gave an interview to native.tv in August 2007. The original source link doesn’t work anymore but the interview is rather fun so it’s nice to get it out once more.
Tokio Hotel Interview
By Suzy Sims
So who are Tokio Hotel? Only the freshest lot roaring out of the German music scene for a long while. There are the twins, the spiky-dressing, androgynous Bill (vocals) and hip hop-loving Tom (guitar), joined by bassist Georg and drummer Gustav to play a dark mix of heavy rock with a lick of eyeliner. The band had a number one album in their homeland which has now gone platinum tenfold, and a few awards for best newcomer and best selling German act last year. Due to the fact the UK doesn’t generally follow the music trends prevalent on the continent, they’re still fairly unknown around here. They tried to hold a web chat last week and the sheer volume of fans logging on crashed the site.[nb Referring to the Sugar Magazine chat that couldn’t take place.]And their oldest member is just twenty. It’s a hell of a ride for the exultant rockers of Tokio Hotel…
Let’s start with a random one. If you could go to any planet, where would you go? Tom: I would like to go to Venus. Bill: I would visit E.T. Gustav: I would visit Pluto! Georg: I would stay on Earth ‘cause there’s nothing really going on on the other planets.
