We've covered a lot of ground on the last stretch of the SIO Tour and had some great shows. During this run I think we officially began to feel the change of season, with the first sign of the changing leaves and a touch of crisp fall air coming down the pike. The artist in me especially loves the change of season, but it is a bittersweet ending to a great summer that has taken us all over the country. One thing that has kept the tour interesting has been throwing in some livestreams for fanclub members only and some for everybody. We especially had a good time with our new friends,...

We talk to Taylor Hanson about the group's evolution since 'MMMBop'Wednesday, October 27, 2010By Hunter Hauk, hhauk@quickdfw.comFolks who haven't paid attention to Oklahoma trio Hanson since the '90s have missed out on a little bit of music-biz drama and quite a few solid pop-rock tunes.Two major-label albums followed the hugely successful 1997 single "MMMBop," which made Tulsa brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson child stars. But as the songwriting siblings went from boys to men, they began to find themselves at odds with their label's expectations."I don't think they knew what exactly they wanted us to sound like or be, but they wanted us...

With the REFRESH campaign back in full swing I have seen a lot of questions like these. Why are we REFRESHING, or What is REFRESHING?
What is RERFESHING? When we ask people to REFRESH, we are asking them to help accumulate views for a video, and in this case the "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" music video. You can REFRESH by watching it yourself, telling a friend, sharing it on a blog, or standing on a street corner while yelling at strangers. Maybe a REFRESHING party could be planned, where people bring laptops and sit there continually reloading the "TBS" video while the host walks around yelling at them, "REFRESH FASTER!!!"
Why...

So a few days ago I challenged you, our fans to get the Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’ music video to 1.9 million views on MySpace by my birthday (October 22nd). If you reached that goal I would agree to let Taylor smash a cake in my face and aLive stream it on H.NET

The oldest Hanson bro tells about his younger years, working as a family, and music (of course!)Oklahoma brothers Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson, were practically born in the spotlight, shooting to fame in 1996 with their hit "MMMBop" off their Middle of Nowhere album. At the ripe ages of 12, 14, and 17, the boys had already sold 10 million copies worldwide with fans all over the world. Within two years, the band was nominated for three Grammy Awards and embarked upon a highly successful concert tour. The talented trio has maintained much appreciation and longevity in the industry nearly a decade and a half later, just releasing their fifth studio...

by Catherine FuentesToday, my first true celebrity crush, Zac Hanson, turns 25. In 1997 when I first became obsessed with a fan of Hanson, I couldn’t imagine the day when Zac Hanson would turn 25, but I’m sure if I did, I figured I’d be commemorating it somehow. (An extra special unrelated 1997 nostalgia treat: Today I heard “We’ve Got It Going On” by the Backstreet Boys as I bought lunch. It’s like all the late ’90s teeny bopper cosmos are aligning today — I feel I need to dig out some butterfly hair clips to appropriately celebrate.)In fact, the first issue of EW that I ever remember buying was back in the summer of 1997, when Hanson first...

Finally the most awaited day arrived from Zactober! Today our kid is turning 25 and he still continues to be our baby. Let's celebrate it by singing!
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
On the day that you were born
and the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust
in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue brown.
That is why all the girls in town...

Oct. 19, 2010We really need everyone's help with requesting Thinking 'Bout Somethin' at radio, but we can REFRESH in between calls. I am going to think of something awesome for us to do for the Street Team Members that are submitting forms everyday to show that they called their local radio station. Maybe another "Song For You" contest where we write a song for the winner, or maybe I can tattoo their name to my chest... or free drum lessons, but along with radio calls we want everyone to REFRESH the TBS video on MySpace. I think we can get to 2,000,000 by the end of november, maybe more. If by October 22nd (My 25th Birthday) we...

Oct 18, 2010I have been getting a lot of Question about the October 31st Members Only Event, and I wanted to share the answers to some of them with everyone1. Is the show going to be outside? A. No. It is an indoor venue in downtown Tulsa2. Are you going to do a walk at the event? A. We are not planning a walk, we will all be with our families earlier in the day and a night walk sounds like a bad idea... I don't want anyone getting hit by a car.3. Will you be Streaming the MOE? A. Yes, but only to members, other wise we couldn't call it a members only event4. Will you be going in Costume? A. That is the plan, if we can find something awesome!5....

An older, more refined and unconventional boy band from the ’90s is back, and they’re headed to Boulder. The brothers who got everyone singing “MMMBop” circa 1997 with longer hair and higher voices now have wives and babies. But they haven’t lost the urge to rock out and they will show off their new material at the Fox on Friday. “Shout It Out” is Hanson’s newest studio album, their eighth total, and was released in June. It shows off older music tastes, said sophomore music education major, Ethan Alexander. “[Shout It Out] is so good! It’s a swing back to their older stuff,” Alexander said. “It has an old, strong soul influence.” Some students...

Leave it to Charlyne Yi to go from “Knocked Up” to would-be Freddie Mercury. The comedienne, best known for a brief but memorable role in the Judd Apatow comedy and a star turn in “Paper Heart,” a 2009 semi-documentary about her are-they-or-aren’t-they romance with fellow awkward actor Michael Cera, has turned her attentions to music. She’s playing in two bands, one serious (The Old Lumps, named after a friend’s dog) and one less so –- that’d be Flesh (the Racist Crayon) -- and this Friday, she’ll use her monthly night at the UCB Theater to pay homage to one-hit wonders-turned-pop-lifers Hanson. (Mercury and his band, Queen, sit at the...

HansonMost people may not give the band Hanson much thought these days, but simply utter the words "MmmBop" and it will likely all come rushing back to them.Hanson were a pop rock band formed in the mid-1990s by three brothers. Really, that alone should have been enough for alarm bells to ring. Brother acts bring to mind the Osmonds and Nelson and it nearly always ends up with mediocrity. And yes, Jonas Brothers, we haven't forgotten about you.Of course, if Hanson was your favorite band of all time and you haven't repented of this sin, then you'll be pleased to know they are still going strong -- or going at least -- and released their...
