Die Toten Hosen are a German punk rock band from Düsseldorf. The name is taken from the German slang idiom tote Hose (literally "dead trousers"), which means "nothing happening"; "boring". The band has had an important success through the years, and it has built a loyal following both in Europe and South America, being particularly popular in their home country and in Argentina.
