Fan of the Month January – Jess

By | January 1, 2013

Name: Jess
Location: Perth, Western Australia

What is the very first memory of Hanson that you have?:
I was up early on a saturday morning and there was a music video show
on the TV. All of a sudden, this video came on and it was MMMBop. I
sat and watched the video in awe and then I went onto the computer to
find out who these 3 long haired boys were…and I have been a fan
ever since!

How many times have you seen Hanson in concert? Favorite concert
memory?:
I have seen Hanson twice in concert. The first one was in my home town
of Perth, Western Australia in 2005. It was such a great concert and I
will have wonderful memories of my very first Hanson concert. I went
travelling to the USA last year and I was fortunate enough to be able
to see them again in Anaheim CA at the House Of Blues. This was one of
the greatest moments of my life as I had waited a long time for it to
happen! I was so proud of myself as I had gone travelling by myself
and made my way to see my favourite band in their home country! I was
so shocked because my friends had tweeted the boys to say that I was
coming all the way from Australia to see them, and Taylor gave me a
shout out! Greatest moment of my life…. 🙂

UPDATE: I have now seen them 3 times in concert! I saw them on the 22nd September 2012 in my home town of Perth, Western Australia. I also won the chance of a meet and greet beforehand as I am an official fan club member, best moment of my life!

What is your favorite Hanson song, and why?:
It tends to change regularly as there are just so many great songs! My
favourite at the moment is ‘Minute Without You’, but MMMBop will
always have a special place in my heart!

Why do you like/love Hanson?:
Hanson are the reason I am so passionate about Music, they have been
there for 15+ years now and I couldn’t think about it ever changing.
They write, play, produce, sing and make brilliant music. They are
wonderful people that are so proud and passionate about their music,
other people’s music, causes and all that is inbetween. They are proud
of their fanbase and thank us endlessely for all the passion and hard
work we put in to getting the world to listen to them and their music.

Life+Love+Passion+music=Hanson

How long have you been a Hanson fan?:
I have been a Hanson fan since the beginning, so for 15+ years
now…and counting!

Why should you be FAN OF THE MONTH?:
I feel that I am helping to spread the music of Hanson to my wonderful
country of Australia as well as the rest of the world. I can’t think
of anything else in this world that would be better than closing your
eyes and listening to a Hanson song…

State a piece of trivia in regards to you & Hanson (optional):
I got a shout out from Taylor at the House of Blues concert in Anaheim
CA on the 10th September 2011…I flew 20+ hours to see my favourite
band!

2012 Year in Review

By | January 1, 2013
0 Comment

In 2012, Hanson celebrated their 20th year as a band as well as 15 years since the release of the single MMMBop.  Let’s take a look back at what happened in 2012.

January

The year kicked off with the winners of the My Favorite Christmas Sweater contest.  We got word that there would be some fun new merchandise for Valentine’s Day and that Carly Rae Jepsen – who was relatively unknown in the US at the time – would be supporting Hanson on the Canadian tour. The May Members Only Event was announced and Facing the Blank Page Live was released. At the end of the month, the Canadian tour kicked off.

February

Hanson and their wives appeared on 20/20.  The Canadian tour continued. Previous Musical Ride shows that were canceled due to band illness had been rescheduled, with the exception of the Portland, ME show. We found out that Hanson would be creating a trivia game.

March

March brought us more details on the Members Only Event in May – with details on Movie Night and Bowling. Hanson created an account on Google+. Shout It Out was released in The Philippines. Hanson performed at the Woody Guthrie Celebration in Tulsa.  Taylor turned 29. Shout It Out’s April 3rd Canadian release was announced. The Back To The Island concert event was announced. March ended with Hanson’s visit to Manila and Cebu in the Philippines for 2 concerts and a Members Only Even and the announcement that after 7 years, Hanson would be returning to Australia.

April

A second resort was added for the Back To the Island event.  An Australian MOE was announced.  The 2012 Members EP – No Sleep for Banditos was announced. Due to quick sell outs in Australia, more tour dates were added.  Hanson joined Pinterest.

May

Charlie Mars was announced as the musical guest for Back To The Island.  Hanson was announced as a performer at Eat To the Beat at EPCOT. Middle of Nowhere turned 15.  Fans from all over the world flocked to Tulsa for the Members Only Event weekend. The Hanson at my Wedding project came to an end with Hanson offering the bride and groom Hanson at my honeymoon and a trip to Jamaica.  The Hanson 20th Daily pictures began. The month ended with Hanson singing the National Anthem at the OKC Thunder game.

June

The Members Only Event merchandise made its way to the Hanson.net store.  New Summer merchandise items were added including a weekend bag, tank top, t-shirt and sunglasses.

July

Hanson performed at the Milwaukee Summerfest. Natalie wrote a blog about how she and Taylor chose baby names and announced that their 5th child would be a girl.  The band performed in Des Moines, IA.

August

Shout It Out was released in Australia, digitally.  The Hanson.net Members Merchandise Design Contest was announced.   The band performed at the Casino Nova Scotia, Little Lake Musicfest and in Vancouver.

September

Hanson kicked off their Australian tour with multiple shows and 2 Members Only Events in Sydney. We were kept updated with several television appearances. The t-shirts from the design contest were put up for a vote. Hanson covers We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift and the video goes viral.  Taylor Swift  tweets about the cover.  The design contest winner is announced.

October

New merchandise is announced including cell phone cases, laptop cases and a 2013 calendar.  The winning design contest t-shirt is also available for purchase for a short period of time. We find out that Otis Redding’s – The Dock of the Bay is the record that changed Taylor’s life.  Taylor and Natalie welcome their daughter, Wilhelmina to the world.  A new Hansonopoly game is announced.  Zac celebrates his 27th birthday at Disney World and the band plays 6 concerts over 2 days at EPCOTs American Garden Theater as part of “Eat To The Beat”.  A new Halloween song, ZOMBIE, debuts on Hanson.net.  The band appears on Oprah’s “Where Are They Now?”

November

New Holiday merchandise is released including bangles, a scarf and a new ornament.  The Digital EP “Digital Pants” is released with Members Only content from 2006-2012 including “Zombie” and the new Christmas tune “Hear Those Jingle Bells”  Isaac turns 32.

December

Hanson is recording album 6 and has been blogging updates from the studio as well as added a new gallery on Hanson.net.

 

In 2013 we have Back to the Island to look forward to as well as the announcement of the 2013 MOE, a new album and hopefully a new tour as well!

This Week

This last week has provided some nice time off for us! One of the rare times of year that the music and entertainment industry shuts down so much that you have all but a forced vacation. Regardless of whether it was forced of not, it has been really nice. Christmas at the Hanson house was full of great food and a lot of laughs all around. We have a lot to be thankful for. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas time as well!

We are just days away from 2013, and I know for many it is bittersweet. When you spend a whole year or longer hoarding canned goods, expecting the world to end, you grow to love the idea in a way. But really, what can you do when every world ending prediction falls flat? I suggest flipping the whole thing on its head and planning a New Years party!

Next week we get back to work on all the elements for the new album. On the top of that list is the photo shoot for the album artwork, the new music video, and a little more overdubbing that was not able to be completed before the Christmas break. X-ing my fingers that it is going to be a very fruitful time.

Most of all, before we go, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson

This Week

Just a few days until Christmas, and oh how time flies! We worked over the weekend into Monday morning finishing overdubs on the song we are hoping will be the first single off of the new album. Things sound really good, and we are all very anxious and excited to start the new year with the album photo shoot, music video shoot, and single mixing all before we head to Jamaica for the members only concert series. Because we have been in the studio for the past month, and were in the studio writing before that, all three of us are fully taking part in the Christmas vacation. The workshop is shut down for now! On to helping St. Nick build special gifts in the dark corners of every secret closet in the house, rushing out to buy those last few gifts on the list, freezing fingers off trying to find the one light in the igloo strand that is making the whole thing short out. Even with the madness of the season, there are so many good things that do come of it. Time with family and friends, a chance to look back on the year’s highlights, and never to forget, good food! We hope that all of you are having a wonderful holiday season, and that it continues into the New Year! Whether it is at a concert or over your speakers, and hopefully both, we look forward to being a part of your 2013.

This Week

It is almost Christmas! It is Time to put your favorite Christmas album on high rotation while there is still time, after all this is one of the best times of year for music. It seems like everyone has a holiday song, or album that can’t help but put them in the spirit (at least the first 500 times they hear it in the month of December). We have certainly been using this month to make music, but not the kind that sings about reindeer and Santa Claus, we have been working on album number six. We are well into the album now with writing, preproduction, & basic tracking finished. Our next real step is to listen and reflect on what we have done to best know what else is needed. We begin a much needed Christmas break next week, but our hope is we will be able to utilize the natural slow down of the holidays to our advantage as we sit by the fire and contain contemplate new musical parts.

Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson
