Street teaming in Seattle

Every city could use a little more Tokio.

My hometown of Seattle has got you covered for coffee, plaid, and Kurt Cobain, but they haven't quite caught on to the light shining out of Germany. We've decided to help them out and bring them the Tokio Hotel they're missing.

And thus - it's time to SHAKE UP SEATTLE!!!



On August 10, our fledgling group of fans will hit the streets of Seattle to spread the merch love and lobby Seattle's radio stations to play "Darkside of the Sun."

We'll be blasting music, wearing gear, and giving away stuff like this:

Upcoming live DVD release - Tokio Hotel's Humanoid City

The live DVD we've been dying for is just around the corner - Tokio Hotel's first live concert DVD since 2007's legendary Zimmer recording. Filmed in Milan, this badass HD wonder utilized 15 cameras to capture the spectacular scope of the Humanoid City.



Even more amazingly, you can now pre-order the DVD in combination with its live CD for a stunningly inexpensive $13 on Amazon. Or order two and get free shipping! Then you'll have an extra when the first one wears out from watching it 90782093481 times.

Midnight Monsoon returns for Season 3

Hey Leute, DJ Nena here.

I was super stoked to get back in studio last week for the first show of the new season, and for those who didn't catch the show, we checked out a few brand new artists just making their way onto the German music scene. Cobra Starship helped us out by doing a casting call for German opening bands over at Myspace Band Radar, where they chose the young unsigned trio One Night Stand.



We got them into the mix with their song "Für dich allein." It's insanely catchy - my roomie commented that it sounds like a German version of Boys Like Girls' "Lovedrunk," and she's totes right. Just check out the chorus on this sweet poprock fabulousness.



In other news, I'm totally drooling over this amazingly rad Nena shirt-dress over at Deutschrock.



At 30 Euros plus whatever ungodly shipping fees, it's not exactly the cheapest shirt ever, but... I did steal her name for my DJ alias, maybe I can call it a business tax write-off. LOL.

Okay Leute, bleibt chill, bis Mittwoch.

Tschüß -

DJ Nena
