Splash Of Color - By Taylor Hanson

Posted by Mari on 8:38 PM

Soon the Give A Little single plus the video will start to get out into the world. Since we made the video several months ago i have been sitting on a batch of pics from the shoot, specifically ones that capture the EXPLODING water balloons full of paint....you will understand better when you see the vid.

So to play on the Shout It Out theme of paint and bright colors. The give a little video has real life paint splattering in it, made by building a plexi glass box around the camera and filling water balloons with paint, and them throwing them at the glass in order to make them burst.

I of course volunteered for this job, and got more than i bargained for with the first balloon exploding in my face, (tasty). Anyways, it was actually great, and I have on more than one occasion worn the clothes that were used and now covered in paint...cause well they look awesome.

Enjoy a few pics of the splattering in action.

Happy Valentines Day ... From Zac.

Hope everyone had a great day with the one/ones you love. Even if the one you love is yourself.

In the last few years greeting cards with music have become all the rage, and there is even an "MMMBop" birthday card. Even though getting your music on a sining card can be great this very evening I realized that singing cards are not the greatest idea when my 2 year old son received a card that sang YOU MAKE ME WANT TO SHOUT! it seemed sweet at first, but as soon as he realized he can start and stop the song at will, the song became YOU MAKE ME WAN... YOU MAKE M... YOU MAKE... YA!.. YA!.. YA!.. YA!

LMAO! Great post, zac!

I always wanted to marry Taylor Hanson.

Posted by Mari on 8:14 PM

Everyone knows that I know Hanson since 1997. I was spending the summer at the beach and a friend showed me MMMBop. I loved it. But I will come to you, was like love at first sight. But it was nothing like the impact that the boys did in my life, I was sure in my heart that someday I would marry Taylor Hanson.

I know, you can laugh. These things get to be funny, after fourteen years, but I remember that at that time was very difficult. As well, a dolecente southern Brazil could be so bold that she could be sure that would marry a boy from the United States? Madness. The interesting thing was that I was not alone in this boat, I knew many other girls that felt the same thing for him. Hanson was composed of three boys, but we were fighting for just one: Taylor.

The situation was so serious and so out of control, when I found out that Taylor was dating Natalie, I tore two posters that I had with his face and spent a week crying. I remember also that I thought it would be very easy to make him forget Natalie and stay with me. - I said it was funny.

The years passed and I had the great opportunity to come face to face with him. It was in 2005. I went to my first Hanson concert and won a Meet and Greet Hanson. That moment was unforgettable. Look into the eyes of Taylor Hanson without that glass of television among us was annoying. Those eyes were magic, and I had even more certainty about what I was felling. What could I do? You have to agree that Taylor is very handsome and cute and kind. Who would not be in love with him?

I'll have to admit that even after all these years, it is very difficult to know what life is like that and we have to accept life as it is. I'm about to marry my fiance and neither looks like Taylor Hanson, in fact he is jealous of him. Well, I can imagine why.

After a few years having to deal with it, and having to understand that not everything we want is possible, and knowing a little better about their personal lives, I can say with sure that Natalie is doing a great job and I could not do better job than hers. They have beautiful children and are happy. How can I fight this? I just accepted. And I'm happy to follow their lives and be happy how things worked out for me. I am very happy with my fiancé, and ... one thing will never change in my life ...: I always wanted to marry Taylor Hanson.

Hanson's Loving Tips: How To Dominate Valentine's Like A Hanson

Posted by Mari on 9:08 AM

The three dashing gentlemen in Hanson aren't the first people we'd ask for romantic advice (Tracy Morgan wins that honor). After all, they're young, married and, let's be honest, so cute and famous that they've had women throwing themselves at them for their entire lives. These guys have never had to work for it!

Well, we're idiots, because the advice Hanson gave us for Valentine's Day was brilliant. They passed on ideas for specific dates (take her swimming with dolphins, then have dolphin for dinner), foolproof ways to pick up hotties (go to a Hanson concert, sing a few lines and bingo!) and tips on how to cultivate a personal appearance that ladies will love (look like Fabio). Check out Hanson's Loving Tips below and then start growing that hair out.

GIG REVIEW: HANSON AT THE 100 CLUB

Posted by Unknown on 11:56 AM

Express - Hanson at London's 100 Club - Mmmbop

AMERICAN rockers Hanson are the latest in a long line of artists joining the bid the save London’s prestigious 100 Club.

Since 100 Club owner Jeff Horton announced that the venue was under threat of closing last year, musicians including Paul McCartney, Ronnie Wood and Liam Gallagher have joined forces to stop what some say is the inevitable.

Now Oklahoma-based brothers, Hanson, are on board the crusade to save the capital city’s oldest live music venue and they’re bringing the popular music generation with them.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac – who shot to fame with their debut song Mmmbop back in 1997 - were chuffed to be supporting a cause backed by some of their idols.

And in return the young men, whose ages range between 25 and 30, delivered a toned-down version of the Beatles’ Oh Darling which we think couldn’t be faulted.

Guitarist Isaac gave it his all, dripping with sweat from song two - which certainly got the younger crowd going.

The boys - or should we say men - proved that they still have the sparkle that threw them into the limelight fourteen years ago.

Happy to oblige the screaming masses they dutifully sang their popular debut track but it was in their new music where they really shone.

Delivering a plea to the crowd of 350 people, Hanson, performed Give A Little, the second single from their new album Shout It Out.

Although the LP was released in the States last June, the 3CG Records owners are currently working on doing the same in Europe.

Taylor said: "We're very proud that 14 years later we're still here. We are working on coming back here soon to tour."

Zac added: “We've just been working on Hanson time but we're back on Greenwich Mean Time now!"
