Bill’s new tattoo

Liz — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 10:27:53 +0000

Bill has replied to a fan on the BTK app who asked; “@Bill What is the special meaning of your new tattoo???? You can tell us? I think it´s amazing and I´m very curious ”

Bill replied; “Well my tattoo has a lot of different meanings. It stands for life and death, power and strength, beauty and perishabilty, love and bond, equality and distinctions… I think it just looks really cool ”

We can’t show a picture of the actual tattoo here as the app content can’t be posted elsewhere, but one fan has painted a very good replica of it on her Bill doll! The main difference is that the twin tattoo (his birth time) which is tattooed on Bill’s fingers is missing. But other than that, it’s a good enough likeness to show you how it looks!

For all of you who are unable to get the BTK app, there is some very good news for you today! The BTK Twins website will be launched soon and you can already view a few of the pictures that have been posted on the app!

From btktwins.com

“We will be launching our official BTK TWINS website soon. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek at the exclusive content on the BTK app.”

The latest app photos have been causing quite a difference of opinion! Bill posted four pictures of his new tattoo – a full glove of a skeletal hand in black and white, with a flower and a bird on either side, in pale colour.

Bill’s collab song to be released in Spring

THUKST Staff — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:46:25 +0000

You might remember that song collaboration Bill did with another Cherrytree Record artist last year and that was supposed to be on a film’s soundtrack which unfortunately didn’t work out. Well, yesterday Marin from Cherrytree Records had some news about what will happen with the song and according to him it will be released on the other artist’s album some time this spring. *fingers crossed* We’re all dying to find out who Bill collaborated with and what the song sounds like.^^

BTK App Update

Liz — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:38:10 +0000

The twins posted lots of pictures on their app this week including a picture of Tom in their studio, a vintage garage and a pair of Bill’s heeled shoes in a locker! He answered fans saying they weren’t hard to walk in at all and that he stands more than 2m tall when wearing them! But everyone’s favourite pictures this week were two of the twins dogs, one of their sleeping male daschund when he was a pup, and one of Tom’s dog, with his ears spread out! This is what the twins said about them …

Bill later told a fan that Tom’s dog always sleeps in his bed!

Tom also suggested to a fan who mentioned THTV that it might make a comeback saying “Cool glad you like TH TV! It’ll have a comeback…”

We hope that happens soon, Tom

BTK App Update

Liz — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:47:09 +0000

Those of you who have the app will probably already know that there has been quite a lot going on this week regarding copyright issues and reposting content outside of the app. For those of you who don’t know, the BTK admin posted a message requesting that nobody reposts app content anywhere else on the internet, and went as far as to say that anyone who does will be subject to a life ban from the app.

We’ve refrained from posting app content as we did have concerns that copyright might become an issue. As that has now happened, I’m afraid we won’t be able to share any of the pictures that Bill and Tom post to their app. What we will do though, is make regular text updates and let you know what’s been happening on the app as best we can, without breaking their rules.

Bill and Tom certainly seem to be having a lot of fun recently! Tom has been to two Supercross events, and said that he really loves it! Bill told fans that he accompanied Tom the second time and that he also thought it was “really cool.” They also went to see the show ‘OVO’ at the Cirque Du Soleil, which Tom said was amazing. And let’s not forget the picture of Bill holding an enormous pink gorilla that he won. Bill said their dogs immediately killed it when they got home, ha ha!

BTK App in Apple stores

THUKST Staff — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:41:14 +0000

The BTK App has finally been made available in Apple stores so all the aliens with Apple devices can join the fun of the twins’ personal messenger. It has been released in some countries so far and more and more are following. Japan, New Zealand, Germany, Italy and Sweden are some of the places where the app is already available so make sure to keep checking your country’s respective Apple Store.

UPDATE: The app “BTK Twins” is available in the UK store for an initial price of £1.99. There will also be a smaller monthly charge. We don’t know what that will be in GPB yet because it’s still priced as $0.99 in the app description.

Please make sure to leave a rating and a review on the Apple Store site after you got the app.^^

There has also been an “Alien Chat Room” section added for aliens from around the world to chat to each other. This was done so fans can still talk to each other without “spamming” the guys’ posts because with the amount of fans joining in the fun it’s become harder for the twins to find questions/comments relating to their posts.

Have fun with the app and let us know what you think!

UPDATE # 2: The app was (partly still is) running a bit slow earlier today. An admin message was posted explaining that it was due to the amazing demand from fans who managed to crash the server.^^ Don’t worry if you’re experiencing problems at the moment. It’s getting fixed, so please just be patient. There will also be an update for the Android version of the app tomorrow or the day after.

“4 German bands you should know”

THUKST Staff — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:10:38 +0000

An article on athousandguitars.com about “4 German bands you should know” lists Tokio Hotel together with Scorpions, Rammstein and Kraftwerk. The article used a picture of the band taken at the MTV EMAs in Liverpool 2008 and embedded the video for “Scream”. Great to see the guys mentioned along with those other three world-famous German bands.^^

The mention says:

Tokio Hotel
Yet another subgenre spawned by traditional rock and roll is pop rock, and Tokio Hotel has it down pat. One of the youngest German bands around, it was formed in 2001. After releasing a couple of albums in their native language, Tokio Hotel came out with its first English-language album, Scream, in 2007. Rather than original material, the album consists of translations of songs from their two previous hit albums.

While their English album didn’t impress critics much, fans loved it, and Tokio Hotel won the Best New Artist award at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. They’ve since gone on to win many other awards for their music, and have become one of the most popular bands in Germany, and around the world.
