My First Hanson Day: Marilyn
Recently we reached out to try and find some first time Hanson Day attendees to find out what they were expecting and how the experience matched up after the fact. Our first fan is Marilyn!
Marilyn had been previously trying to attend Hanson Day in Tulsa for years – she first started planning to go in 2011 or 2012. This year it finally happened for her and she made the trek from Kentucky with her husband and parents. Her husband purchased a membership to attend the members only events with her as well.
“This year just seemed like the right time to go thanks to much convincing from myself and having my family agree to come with me is the icing on the cake. I’ve always wanted to come to Tulsa to just explore the city. It’s even better that Hanson has came up with all these events that fans can attend to interact with others all around the world and have that bond.”
Before heading to Tulsa, Marilyn was most looking forward to the lectures and hop jam.
Afterwards, we asked what was different than she expected – although she had been warned about long lines, he didn’t imagine how excessive they would be. Her husband didn’t like waiting either. Due to waiting in lines, she ended up missing the gallery, photos with the band and the State of the Band. She mentioned that she also wanted to spend time with her husband and family and take the time to explore Tulsa so she had no regrets missing out on some of the events since she had fun doing everything else with her family.
The event she was most looking forward to, the lectures, ended up being the event that she enjoyed the most. She loved that it was an acoustic storytellers event. She mentioned that she had missed out on the Underneath Acoustic tour in 2003, so the lectures show being acoustic was the icing on the cake for her.
“It was incredible to say the least hearing Yearbook live for the first time and seeing Taylor dominate the piano is something I’ll never forget!
The vibe of the fans interacting together and meeting up with one of my friends who’s also a fan was hard to describe. It was like magic. It’s strange how our bond keeps us together but it’s incredible. “I Don’t Want To Go Home” from the In Color EP perfectly describes our friendship with other fans and how much this weekly event makes it even better!”
Her least favorite part of the weekend was the lines and their lack of organization. As well as there not being enough time in the day to do all the Hanson events as well as explore Tulsa. She liked that it has become something bigger than a show and a meet & greet but was disappointed that so many events that required tickets sold out so quickly.
Marilyn also mentioned that she loved Ida Red! She thought the associates there were all very friendly and there were good vibes all around. Their merchandise is so cute and eclectic. She was able to enjoy an Ale8 float, which was like she had a piece of home with her there in Tulsa.
Here are some photos that Marilyn took during her weekend!

Hanson is back! Here are 5 of their tubes
This Friday, June 9 is a date like no other … An exceptional day itself. Not because it marks the beginning of the post-Mayor era in the capital, nor because the Red Devils will beat it with Estonia in the evening, but because it will see the unlikely coming to Belgium of the Hanson.
Isaac (the great), Taylor (the middle) and Zac (the little one) – who have never hung up the microphone and released albums at regular intervals over the years – are celebrating their quarter-century career this year. And, at the same time, the twenty years of their mythical album “Middle of Nowhere”, barded of the first and last tube of the siblings, saw “MMMBop”. A double-anniversary which will be the subject of a world tour, passing by the Trix Antwerp this Friday night.
On this occasion, we found five unavoidable tracks of the discography of the brothers. Enjoy …
1) “MMMBop”
2) “MMMBop”
3) “MMMBop”
4) “MMMBop”
5) “MMMBop”
For the pleasure of the groupies of Hanson who have become thirty, a small photo of the three bellâtres (today aged respectively 36, 34 and 31 years) in 2017.

Un concerto degli Hanson è un memorabile tuffo nel passato (che va ben oltre MMMBop)
On Stage
(Translated using Google Translate)
What is the song that has been pronounced in the world – and written – always in the wrong way? But of course, it is MMMBop, the tormenton of 1997 that initiated baptism in the world of international music of three brothers originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who at the time had respectively 17 (Isaac), 14 (Taylor, who presented Just with the words that we brought back the famous piece during the concert) and only 12 years (Zac).
Hanson: The band, which ended on June 7 at Fabrique in Milan, is in the midst of a double celebration: on the one hand, we celebrate their 25 years of activity – though, as brothers, we imagine that The story is actually much longer – and the other 20 from the release of the debut album, Middle Of Nowhere.
Let’s do for a moment local mind: the pop phenomenon represented by MMMBop, which beyond the game of incomprehensible words has been played from now on as an easy, sparkling and fun song that it is today, came as a lightning strike in a clear Where we could still see Mtv the American one, which in Italy was able to take miraculously through strange rides of the remote control. Isaac, Taylor and Zac managed to fill the gap in our fragile teen heart left by Robbie Williams from the Take That and their subsequent dissolution (1995-1996) just before the explosion of the other boy bands that came after (See Backstreet Boys).
However, at some point, after a few years of listening to Middle Of Nowhere and the successor (not the first one) This Time Around of 2000, in addition to Christmas Snowed In, while simultaneously plundering Adhesive covers of Cio with their faces to stick on our half-meter high marks – which we kept together with the elastic – bam! The irreparable thing happened: in 2002, Taylor, who, let’s say, was also the finest of the three, married, started to leave behind a bunch of children and Hanson we forgot a bit. Gossip aside, however, this time was perhaps more tied to the choice of the trio to abandon the major who had contracted them and made them known all over the world.
But, and that’s what we understood last night, we actually forgot only us that in the meantime we started listening to things a little less (forgive the easy labels but it is to be understood): in fact if there is someone who He has never ceased to follow the musical steps of the band are their most loyal fans, and in Italy there are still many. Those who, starting with Underneath (2005), have not abandoned them anymore and have singled out every single piece during live. The band then did not spare, playing for almost two hours and interrupting the songs in a ladder with some anecdotes, such as the story of With You in Your Dreams, written in the middle of the night by Taylor at a time when Grandma was not much good.
The Italian audience, who has been able to see them live more than once in the last few years, loves them literally. Indeed, even because live Hanson is nothing more than a pop phenomenon: they are impeccable, accurate and talented musicians not only on the latest songs but also and above all on older ones like Where’s the Love, Weird, Madeline and If Only, the band is re-reading in a completely new way (sometimes even improving them).
During the concert there was also room for a tribute to some pieces that evidently marked the musical growth of Hanson, two great rock’n’roll classics such as Rockin ‘Robin by Bobby Day and Johnny B Goode of the immense Chuck Berry, in addition to I’m a man, Give me some lovin ‘and Long Train Running, thus demonstrating with these little pearls that Zac, Taylor and Isaac know so. In short, Hanson’s live was a great opportunity not only for those who have always loved them, but also for those who listened to them at that time, who at that time in the past, although in the meantime swore loyalty to other musical genres, Always keeps an affectionate and sincere memory.
Hanson in concerto al Fabrique di Milano: la recensione
(Translated using google translate)
Before young Dawson and his anxieties came to life in the lives of thousands of teenagers with Dawson’s creek, for those who lived their carefree youth in the mid-1990s and the beginning of the new Millennium it was quite easy to come across dozens of posters Of these three blond boys and capelloni, who dominate the airplay for an unrepeatable season. It is a joy and, perhaps in part, a torment for the Hanson Brothers because if their “MMMbop” has become one of the most successful singles ever, the trio is no longer able to get rid of that childish incarnation, also Now that the formation, now no longer so embarrassing as at the beginning, is about to celebrate the first twenty-five years of career.
Yesterday, June 7, at the Fabrique of Milan for the only Italian event of the “Middle of everywhere tour”, Hanson brings on tour a good representation of a complex adventure, celebrating both the two decades of their work in this 2017 The famous “Middle of nowhere” (the MMMbop album, so much to be clear) that its longevity, which went on over the years without the clamor of their most famous singer but could always rely on a truly solid and faithful international fanbase. It is a fairly heterogeneous audience that slowly begins to fill the room, ready to sing in chorus all the sci-fi proposed by the ex-brothers prodigious, demonstrating a horse’s memory in remembering word by word all the most famous pieces of the band in Tulsa, Oklahoma .
They enter the scene at 9:30 pm, after the opening ceremony of the young English songwriter Lewis Watson, with a five-year training for a bassist curiously resembling Omar Rodríguez-López of Mars Volta and a second guitarist / keyboard player who keeps for the two Thread threads of the show a rather low profile. The Hanson blondes with a few more years on their shoulders confirm a band with a good shot and leave immediately with the high gears geared up, very ridiculous and almost unbelievable to find so much affection. They ring and gladly welcome those who do not have too much trouble in front of an even too heterogeneous repertoire, where old pop hits blend into a modern, simple southern rock of the latest works, going for cover with the most funky rhythms and some old song Scratched for the occasion.
The Hanson in these twenty-five years have somehow tried to get rid of the boyband image, never losing that aura of innocence, simplicity, and gentle ways that have always manifested it. The same intentions that can be found in the performance of the evening and in the stage management: beating of hands, choirs, jokes, jumps to stimulate interaction with the public. They know how to use the right irony and awareness to tell about their past and still be credible, though with several springs on their shoulders, to sing motivated non-intellectual texts like “You’re always in my head” and I can not live another day without You “or” Where’s the love / it makes the world go round and round and round. “The songs follow almost uninterruptedly, in a constant flow that puts in close thirty songs, with the surprise that in the end yes, the Hanson They have shown for what I am really, a good pop-rock group, genuine and totally innocuous, good guys with a vaguely old 1970s who could not inherit it. A boyband-not boyband that keeps straight on his way with craft , Even now that Ike, Tay and Zac, who disappeared from the star system radars, preferred the free way of self-production, grinding over the years records and concerts, beneficial ep They would own the production of a craft beer, as well as repopulating their County with a good dozen children in three.
Here is the full amarcord happy service to whom the late-nineties lived live in his room, divided between unprepared pop spring and new computer science that opened to the phenomenon of the Internet: it all jumps together between vocal harmonies And beaten up with “Penny & Me” and “This time around”, up to homage to rock dad Chuck Berry and his Johnny B. Goode, passing, obviously, for “MMMbop”. Of course, growing is always a complicated task, especially if you suddenly find a teenager – or little more than a kid in the case of drummer Zac – rich, famous and idolized, but the Hanson are somehow still trying , With passion and honesty. After all, they are young.

The Clear Appeal of Tinted Windows
The GoodMen Project
If you like power pop in the vein of Cheap Trick, The Knack, Jellyfish, The Raspberries and Big Star, you should check out the relatively unheralded but hugely entertaining Tinted Windows. It’s a bracing combination of clever songwriting and killer musicianship from folks whose bands you may already admire.
It goes without saying that power pop fans all have their favorite bands: Some favor the Raspberries; others, Big Star; still others, a second-generation group like Jellyfish. Yet one power pop group that seems somewhat unfairly overlooked by many listeners is Tinted Windows. The group began when Adam Schlesinger (the bassist-songwriter for Fountains of Wayne) and Taylor Hanson (the lead singer of Hanson) decided to work on some music together. The two then brought in James Iha (former guitarist for Smashing Pumpkins) followed soon thereafter by Bun E. Carlos (the drummer from Cheap Trick) who agreed to work on the album after hearing some of the songs the initial trio had prepared. The band released a self-titled album in 2009 and what a refreshing blast of old school power pop it is.
The opening track “Kind of A Girl” wouldn’t sound out of place on a vintage album from The Knack, “Nothing To Me” powers along like a Cheap Trick B-side, and “Messing With My Head” is a perfect blend of Hanson’s solid vocals, Iha’s crunchy power chords and Schlesinger’s tasty bass playing. Tying it all together is Carlos’ strong backbeat, even on songs like “Dead Serious” and “Take Me Back” with their hook-filled choruses ear-worming their way in your head. The smooth production by Iha and Schlesinger gives the songs such a shiny pop-rock sheen that enthusiasts for vintage rock, pop and even New Wave will think they’ve dug up a lost classic from the ‘70s or ‘80s.
Despite Hanson’s presence, this disc is devoid of keyboards; instead this rock & roll summit meeting is all about propulsive guitars, thumping bass, and fierce drumming. Which isn’t to say that there’s not a nod to Schlesinger’s Fountains of Wayne. That comes most explicitly via a pop confection titled “Without Love.” As for Hanson, the power ballad “Back With You” resides solidly on his home turf. (For a contrast, check out his gritty vocals on “Can’t Get a Read on You,” a fast-paced rocker.) All the songs concern those RNR staples: girls, girls, girls. What more could you ask from on a self-proclaimed back-to-basics release? Hey, this unlikely supergroup may end up your new power pop fave.
The album resulted in a brief tour, but the band members have since gone on to other projects, though Hanson did provide vocals on a track for Carlos’ recent solo release, Greetings from Bunezuela!. Adam Schlesinger has hinted in interviews that the group may record together again, though nothing has officially been announced. Tinted Windows was almost criminally ignored by music fans upon its release in 2009. The album is truly worth discovering by power pop aficionados.

Hanson at the Mojo-Club: They are a real surprise! After all, bands such as the Backstreet Boys and Take that have reunited after the end of the 90s – and they had, in contrast to Hanson, even more than a hit. But the three brothers from Oklahoma are much more successful.
Of course, a large part of the audience is probably here to listen nostalgically giggly to the 90s-earworm “MmmBop” – but quickly everyone can grab the honest, emotional guitar sound of the sympathetic brothers.
They impress their audience with really good music. Since he plays retro aspect suddenly no longer a point – a point, which other boygroups have never really reached.
A really nice evening. And: Towards the end, “MmmBop” is also on the program. As sweet.
