Tokio Hotel Live

1st May

April was a pretty busy month with some work related traveling and the PC Fair, leaving very little time to go out for a shoot. Fortunately, I got this opportunity to assist in the coverage of Tokio Hotel live concert in Malaysia on behalf of Universal Music.

Hailing from Germany, the band comprise of lead singer Bill Kaulitz, his twin brother / guitarist Tom Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schäfer and bass-guitarist Georg Listing. After a few German language albums, the band released their 1st English album "Scream" before hitting it big with their 2nd English album "Humanoid". The 2nd single "World Behind My Wall" became a smash hit and has been getting some heavy airplay.

The day started early with a meet the fan and autograph session at The Oval, One Utama. The crowd was already lining up since early morning. When the band finally made their way to the stage, the crowd went crazy.




The session lasted almost an hour before the band went for the press conference. It was a long extended break for us as we waited for the evening session to start. Around 5pm, we went down to the concert venue and it was packed. Despite the drizzle, the fans were lining up at the gate waiting to go in.
