NEW From The Band
This Week Music! That is what this week has been all about. All summer long we’ve been mentioning there’s work going on in the studio, a bit of this and that, but this week it was all music all the time. We are writing away and grabbing inspiration from whatever comes across our path. One thing we have been particularly inspired by is new instruments. During the entire week’s writing sessions everyone seems to be playing an instrument that is not their mainstay (ike on drums, Zac on Guitar Tay on…well whatever is left, dangit in this case keyboard) but you get the point we have been switching it up and finding new inspiration. Of course it’s a bit cruel to talk so much music and not have anything to share, but we are getting there. All in good HANSON time you will hear a lot of new music. Have a great week. Isaac, Taylor and Zac |

Pop trio Hanson to close out Little Lake Musicfest season on Aug. 25
Hanson, that super-hit trio from the 1990s, will close off the Little Lake Musicfest’s 2012 season. And because I have daughters, and because they read things like Tiger Beat, I understand how to write about bands like Hanson. So here goes: 10 Things You Need To Know About Hanson
- The three-piece band has been together for 20 years, even through they still look like teens. The three brothers, Zac, Isaac and Taylor, were just little kids when they got the act together.
- They began as an a capella group, singing goofy songs like Rockin’ Robin. This helped them build the harmonious teamwork that would help once they went electric in the mid-90s.
- All three brothers play several instruments and sing, something made evident in their live shows. But they tend to focus on drums (Zac), guitar (Isaac) and keyboards (Taylor).
- That song MMMBop was their first, and biggest hit, and plenty of people were humming it in the summer of 1997. Zac was 11.
- The Hanson brothers saw their biography in bookstores before the oldest was out of his teens.
- Despite the Jackson-Fivish pop vibe of MMBop, Hanson’s music has always had more of a soul connection, with plenty of Stevie Wonder floating around under Taylor Hanson’s singing and keyboard work.
- You can hear that on Shout It Out, their new CD, which goes full Motown with assistance from some of soul’s finest.
- Like their last few records, Shout It Out was produced and released independently, as Hanson left their major label due to lack of promotional dollars and declining sales. Since then, they’ve done it on their own.
- The Hanson fan base was very definitely pre-teen girls in the early days, with fan magazines blasting pictures of the boys (particularly little Zac) all over their covers.
- They still attract screaming female fans to their shows, even though those fans now tend to have kids of their own.
- While people tend to think of those cute little blonde brothers when they hear the name Hanson, the boys are now married fathers themselves, with children not much younger than they were when they started. Hanson 2.0? Well, there was an all-Jackson second generation singing group a few years back, so you never know.
- They’ll wrap up the new season of Little Lake Music Fest on Aug. 25. The show is free, happening at Del Crary Park — bring a blanket or a lawn chair.

NEW From The Band
This Week It’s August in mid America and It’s hot, hot hot. Hopefully many of you around the world are enjoying your summer and staying cool for those in the Southern Hemisphere. Here on the home front in Oklahoma it’s been so hot that we’ve seen some of our fellow Oklahoman’s lose their homes in the wildfires near by. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those struggling in our community (and if anyone wants to help support those affected you can donate to the Red Cross Tulsa Here). This week we are still plugging away in our cave of wonders making music and pondering the coming release. On the site, there’s a new Banditos blog up for Fanclub members plus this week the Hnet team is launching special offers for renewing fanclub members. Like much of the world we have also caught a bit of the Olympic action which we love. “Go Team USA” sorry but we’ve gotta support the home team. Maybe we’re just getting soft in our old age but every event feels like a tear jerker watching so many amazing athletes reach their lifelong goals, what can we say, there’s nothing like a little pommel horse to get the emotions running high. Don’t forget to check out the special merch design contest. We are really interested in what ideas you come up with, and especially if you are a designer, we hope you take part and bring your A game to make something awesome. Have a great week. Onward – Isaac, Taylor and Zac |
