Nineties boy band Hanson attended “The Hangover Part III” Los Angeles premiere on Monday night. The group consists of three brothers: Isaac on guitar, vocals, and piano; Taylor on keyboards, piano, guitar, drums, and vocals; and Zac on drums, piano, guitar, and vocals.

The trio is best known for their 1997 hit song “MMMBop” from their debut album, “Middle of Nowhere,” Fun fact: that album garnered three Grammy nominations for Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

The group hails from Tulsa, Ok. When they premiered their hit song over 15 years ago, Zac was 12, Taylor was 14, and Isaac was 16. They are now 27, 30, and 32, respectively.

Check out more photos of the group, which has sold over 16 million records worldwide, over the years…

There was more than one wolf pack walking the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Hangover Part III.” The band of brothers Hanson joined actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong to celebrate the third chapter in the “Hangover” franchise.

It might seem surprising to see Isaac, 32, Taylor, 30, and Zac, 27, promoting the movie, since they’re still best known for breaking into the music business as long-haired, squeaky-clean teenagers in the 1990s. But it turns out that their signature tune “MMMBop” is the first song on the movie’s soundtrack, and is played right at the top of the film.

“It’s a very funny scene,” Taylor Hanson said, dressed in a green suit jacket and a lock of his signature blonde hair falling across his face. “Whether you’re a Hanson fan or a ‘Hangover’ fan, I think you’re gong to find it funny.”

Isaac, the eldest Hanson bro, looked dapper in a slim black suit, bright pink pocket square, and his hair swooped high on his head. Zac, a.k.a. Little Hanson, was the most casual with a leather jacket, necklace, a five o’clock shadow, and shoulder length hair. Hey, they wouldn’t be recognizable unless at least one of them had hair past his chin, right?

They also seem to be proud that their debut single from 1997 is still getting some play, even if it’s for comedic material. But it’s been fun watching this trio grow up, become husbands and fathers, and continue their music career. In fact, they’re promoting a new album “Anthem,” set for a release next month.

And since Hanson performed their first professional gig in 1992, this year marks the band’s 21^st birthday. And how else could they celebrate but to come out with their very own beer, appropriately named MmmHops?

“People will actually be able to get a hangover with Hanson,” Taylor quipped. So, with a new album, a new beer, and a presence in a blockbuster flick, Hanson might be the band of the summer once again.

The List

Hanson singer Taylor Hanson

Hanson think it is “cool” they still have the same fans as they did 15 years ago, especially because their followers also bring along the “next generation” to their gigs.

Hanson think it is “cool” they still have the same fans as they did 15 years ago.

The ‘MmmBop’ hitmakers – formed of brothers Taylor, Zac and Isaac Hanson – love the fact they see the same faces at shows as they did 15 years ago, and are particularly happy that they are often accompanied by the “next generation” of followers.

Drummer Zac said: “The core fan base has always been our peers. So when I was 12, there was a lot of 12 year olds. And now I’m 27, and there are lot of 27 year olds.

“I think the coolest thing about our fan base is seeing these people who have continued to vibe with our music and make it a part of who they are, and how they go through the world.

“Also, there’s this handing down of next generation Hanson fans, that’s a wild experience for me. The fans at 27 will walk up to you after the concert like, ‘Hey, I love you guys. I’ve been to 30 concerts. And this is my little brother/concern/nephew/whatever it is.’ Seeing that happen is a really cool thing.”

Despite performing together for so long, Zac believes being in a band has gotten harder as they all have so many more responsibilities.

He explained to Just Jared Jr.: “It’s not easy. I think if anything, getting older probably does make it harder because you have that many more quirks, you’re that much more stubborn, you have that many more responsibilities – kids, mortgages, you know? Things like that.

“We have a deep history obviously, 21 years as a band, so musically, that does probably get easier. We know each other so well and when you’re playing a live concert and something’s happening, something’s going wrong, it’s less frightening. You just sort of figure it out.”
