Hanson think of themselves as a 70s rock band.
The Oklahoma-based brothers, Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson - who shot to fame with their debut single 'MMMbop' in 1997 - have been heavily influenced by music from the 70s and Taylor says it shows on their new album 'Shout It Out'.
He explained: "The last two records we were definitely leaning away from the old school R&B that we had been doing, we've been going a little bit more layered and textured, more pop rock and with this album we've tried to create it in a way that captures a certain energy that we love about albums from our past.
"We joke that we're a 70s rock band because we grew up in the Midwest with a little bit of roots music around us but also listening to 50s and 60s soul music and as...

RIO - O grupo de pop rock Hanson se recusou a levar uma guitarra numa viagem, após perder ou ter um número razoável de instrumentos roubados. De acordo com a imprensa internacional, o integrante Zac Hanson admitiu estar bastante irritado com a falta de sorte que ele e os irmãos têm nas turnês. - As guitarras continuam quebrando. Já tivemos quatro tipos diferentes que quebraram, sem falar das outras que foram roubadas. Uma vez, um amigo nos deu uma réplica de uma Gibson Les Paul de 1950, que foi roubada numa viagem de avião. O pior de tudo é que ele era colecionador e faleceu um ano depois. É impossível repor isto. Não é pela guitarra,...

Para quem já curtiu muuuito o som de MMMBop e era apaixonada pelos loirinhos dos Hanson, uma ótima notícia: eles estão de volta!
Os irmãos Isaac, Taylor e Zach deram o ar da graça novamente para uma turnê comemorativa da banda, que contará com os sucessos dos seus cinco álbuns. #morri
Os caras já estão se aquecendo para voltar aos palcos e estão no pique da divulgação. A banda até fez uma aparição muito fofa no programa Dancing With The Stars cantando o hit MMMbop.
Ah! Ainda não foi divulgada a data e nem por onde os fofos passarão, mas a torcida (pelo menos aqui na Atrê) já é muito grande!
We need DWTS's pictures!...

Hanson took over 'Dancing With The Stars' dance floor with their oldie 'MMMBop.' Watch it here!These brothers haven't quit music, in fact they're still quite active but nothing has reached the fame of their hit 'MMMBop.' So they had no problem in performing it on the hit TV show while the experts dance around to the feel-good tune. One thing is for certain, the guys are all grown up and looking great. It seems a bit ridiculous for them to be on TV in 2011 but we couldn't help but smile and feel a bit nostalgic for when they were just boys taking over the airwaves in the '90s. Will Justin Bieber fans feel this way when he croons 'Baby'...

Hanson returned to Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday night to perform during the Dancing with the Stars: The Road to the Finals on ABC. A preshow that gave a glimpse behind the scores, the group gave the audience a great performance.

Tulsa’s Hanson resurrected “MMMBop” for the audience on Monday’s “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC.
Four couples -- all professional dancers -- twirled, bopped and tangoed live on stage to the 1997 hit song on the series’ “Guilty Pleasure Night.”
They also served as the house band and performed other songs including Lionel Richie's "Hello" as the show went in and out of commercials. Hanson returns to "Dancing" Tuesday night to perform "Give A Little" from their new album "Shout It Out."

April 26, 2011 09:40 PM EDT Hanson handled their appearance on Dancing With the Stars last night with the same star power they have always shown while on stage. Sure, they looked older (make that, more mature) but they were still as engaging as ever.And while the music of this pop trio is not for everyone's taste, it may just well be their guilty pleasure, which also happens to be the theme of this week's Dancing With the Stars. In fact, Hanson was the perfect choice as these brothers crooned throughout the show to prove. For sure, even though these guys have been around for more than a decade, Hanson is still popular with young and old alike.The band started with their familiar...

Tim Mosenfelder / Gary Gershoff, Getty ImagesHanson (of ‘Mmmbop’ fame) served as the house band on last night’s episode of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and they were in fine form, going as far as bringing a little country to the show while performing a snippet of Billy Ray Cyrus‘ huge country hit from the ’90s, ‘Achy Breaky Heart.’
The Hanson brothers went twangy and did the song proud, showing off their countrified chops. Who knew they had it in them? If Lady Gaga can go country, so can Hanson! Country music is the wave of the future for pop stars and Hanson getting all ‘Achy Breaky’...

We’re done here. This week’s filler: another performance of Kendra’s sizzling samba (no surprise there), a long montage with the other dancers who aren’t stars and a sweet, if sentimental, little dance number about featuring couples of varying ages.

Another week, another fall on Dancing With the Stars. Is our true Guilty Pleasure that we secretly love this kind of drama? As long as no one gets hurt, it makes for an interesting night, no?
Blame the blasted coat. Poor Karina Smirnoff tripped over partner Ralph Macchio’s Paso Doble costume in the final dance of Season 12, Week 6. But Ralph pulled her up and got her back on track. We knew we adored him for a reason!
Not to obsess, but this is feeling very Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy after Maks’ fall and Kirstie’s shoe-related wardrobe malfunction — and Maks and Karina were once engaged. That’s the only real connection, but we’re running with it.

It's time for another recap of "Dancing With the Stars," which I know everyone is really excited about! Once again blogging is myself, Jenny Kobiela-Mondor, in italics, and my sister Kelly, the bad girl of ballroom, in regular text.
And now for a very special episode of So You Think You're a Star Who Can Dance. It is guilty pleasures night! And I've heard tell that Hanson is performing. If they play for someone to dance to, I will literally lose my mind.
Also included tonight as a special treat are some comments thrown in by my friend Sarah, who has never seen a full episode of DWTS, but loves Hanson.

Guilty pleasures week! Which is the entirety of this show, really, isn't it? Somehow, ousted Idol singer Pia Toscano is involved in all this. Not sure if I'd want to be dubbed a "guilty pleasure" this early in my career. But hey, a gig is a gig (is a dancing boyfriend). Hanson! MMMBop! (I hope Andrew Dansby is watching this.) Even the pro dancers are supremely cheesy tonight. Speaking of ... Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerikovsky: (samba, 26) Oh baybay, baybay. I'm digging Kirstie tonight. The old sparkle is back, and she glides across the floor with authority. Just the right amount of cha-cha. (Also? Britney doesn't even dance like that anymore.) And can I say "bonus" house band Hanson should be installed permanently? And record an album of guilty pleasure tunes?

It was Guilty Pleasure night on "Dancing with the Stars" -- and with a performance from Hanson, Karina Smirnoff falling, and Kendra Wilkinson shaking it like a "stripper" for the judges, the show definitely delivered on its theme!
Hanson dusted off their 1997 hit "MMMBop" to set the mood of the night. In case you were wondering after watching the performance (video above), Isaac is now 30, Taylor is 28 and little Zac is now 25. Feel old yet?
From there, it was time for the "Stars" to get their dance on -- and there were two notable moments this week:
First, Karina Smirnoff fell while doing the paso doble with partner Ralph Macchio. While they recovered quickly, the dance still left them with only a 24/30.
Secondly, Kendra Wilkinson did some seriously sexy dance moves on the judge's table...

This week on “Dancing with the Stars,” it’s “Guilty Pleasures” night. Before we have a chance to register what’s happening, Hanson (Hanson?!) opens the show, playing that one song of theirs. (What? Ok.) But we’ll cut them a little slack: the brothers are still cute after all these years, and better dressed, especially the one in the blue suit. (We still don’t know their names.) The Hanson brothers grow on us over the night, after gamely (ironically?) playing songs like Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello,” as the show eased out of commercials. It seems like Twitter thought the same, sending “MMMBop” and “Hanson” into the...

After a patriotic week that was occasionally a little too over-the-top to watch, “Dancing with the Stars” rebounded with a show all about guilty pleasures -- Hanson was the house band, we saw footage of Bruno Tonioli in underwear, and there were also a few of the best dances of the season.All in all, it was a good way to spend Monday night.--Kirstie Alley: In kicking off Guilty Pleasures Week, Kirstie danced to a hit song that pretty much no man would ever admit to listening to -- Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time.” It was fun, flirty, and even had more hip action than you would originally expect from a 60-year old actress.
