Bustle

Are you a dyed-in-the-wool pop music fan? Were you born in the ‘80s or the early ‘90s? Do you enjoy live music? If you replied “Duh doye” to all three of those questions, then I would be down to bet a Furby, a Nano Baby, a pair of Moon Shoes, a Burger King Bart Simpson doll, a dozen holographic Pokémoncards, a tube full of pogs, and one of those gnarly metal pog slammers that you really, really, really, really want a zig-a-zig-ah. Er, wait. Let me try that again: I would bet all of those things that you, you pop music- and concert-loving ’90s kid, wanted to go to and/or went to at least one live show in the ’90s and/or early ’00s. Which live show(s)? Oh, I am thrilled you asked.

Below you will find a list of ’90s/’00s tours that should speak to all of my fellow pop music-obsessed ’90s kids. Whether you attended all of the concerts included in this roundup*, one of the concerts, a few of the concerts, or none of the concerts, you *get* their power; these weren’t just any tours, but The Pop Tours To Go To In The ’90s And Early ’00s.

Here are some of the pop concerts ’90s kids wanted to be a part of:

Hanson Brothers have a new release next week, but it isn’t a song. It is a beer.

Some of you may have already had an opportunity to try it during the Hop Jam Beer Festival. The official release of the farmhouse ale, which is called Hop Jam Festive Ale, will be at Fassler Hall, 304 S. Elgin Ave., at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Mmmhops

For most, a visit to www.mmmhops.com reveals what appears to be another craft beer company, trying to squeak by in this new craft beer age on sincere brewing techniques and a devotion to hoppier beer. One might even see the banner that says “Hanson Brothers Beer Company” and not think anything of it. But a more in depth analysis reveals that the Hanson Brothers Beer Company is actually composed of everyone’s favorite bowl cut ‘90s pop trio.

Yes, “Mmmbop” hit makers Hanson have also joined the increasingly popular craft beer craze in an attempt to squeeze out the last bit of nostalgia around their 1997 smash. Mmmhops, the premiere beer fromHanson Brothers Beer Company, is described as a “full bodied pale ale with a unique toasted malt signature and a refreshing hoppy finish.” The Hanson Brothers beer is available mostly in their native Oklahoma, but also throughout the midwest. Pale Ales go great with a host of grilled meats, so pair an Mmmhop with a grilled steak or pork loin. I won’t ask you to listen to “Mmmbop” while drinking it. You’re welcome.

He’s like a dancing version of Jon Snow mixed with Serge from Kasabian.

Aside from having all the fun that comes from wearing a livery collar – that’s the actual name for those fancy chains that Mayors get to wear – it’s important for the highest-ranking official in a municipal government, such as that of a city or a town, to meet the public.

Anniversaries are always a happy occasion and for the people of Armagh, they came out in force to celebrate the 40th birthday of the Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon.

To mark the occasion, they made an all singing, all dancing video that featured the Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, Garath Keating.

Check out his dance moves to iconic tunes like Staying Alive, Beat it, MMMbop, Hey Ya! and Uptown Funk.

Reckon your own local Mayor could top this?
