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.

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.
Tokio Hotel were featured in a few UK magazines around the time of the Ready, Set, Go! release on 27th August 2007. Remember to download the song today.

Celebrating “Ready, Set, Go!” UK single release’s 3-year-anniversary
On 30th July 2007 BBC’s Chartblog published an email interview they did with Tokio Hotel leading up to their “Ready, Set, Go!” single release. It’s quite funny with some English humour and also features the classic “Slink meets Tokio Hotel” video with the guys teaching her some German. You can read the interview by clicking “read more” or on their site.
Keep spreading the word about the “Ready, Set… Download” fan action and don’t forget to download the song!
Three year anniversary of RSG UK Single release (27th August 2007)
In June we celebrated the three year anniversary of Tokio Hotel’s London concert by taking you down memory lane. With this in mind it does not feel right to ignore the three year anniversary of the one and only UK music release which was Ready, Set, Go! on 27th August 2007.
That calls for a download day or even a week, doesn’t it? So let’s have some fun with this.
Get ready for “Ready, Set… Download” and click “read more” for information and details on what we’re doing.
