They asked a few friends to play Bass and Drums but no one seemed to fit the catagory within Paintbox City. During summer holidays in March,2008 Melanie met two twin sisters over the internet who run The Australian Street Team for the German Rock band Tokio Hotel. Melanie was very fond of Tokio Hotel and wanted to have come sort of contribution within launching the band into Australia and Entertain their Australian Fans, so she came up with an idea, to hold the very first Tokio Hotel fan action concert. At that time, Melanie and Emma needed a Bassist and Drummer, and they remembered Daniel Figueroa who had recently graduated from AIPAH and they asked him to play bass for the show, and without any hesitation he said yes, Still in search for a Drummer Daniel suggested Sam Marsonet to play the drums. Ever since their first band practice together they haven't been apart. For 3 months they practiced a range of Tokio Hotel songs from their first to recent albums both in German and English to prepare for the Fan Action that was held at the historic Australian icon theme park Luna Park the venue was a newly build venue inside luna park called Sonar Sydney that over looked Sydney Harbor and Sydney Harbor Bridge.
