Hanson Fans in London! If you are a Hanson.net member, check the blog for information about an upcoming show!! If you are not a Hanson.net member, public information will be made in an announcement tomorrow afternoon (London time)
We will have info posted as soon as it is available to the public.
Ology.com posted a recap of the 2nd episode of the American Idol Season Premiere.
In it, they write:
An Isaac Hanson lookalike (not a good thing) comes in and they tell him he looks like Steven. Then Steven tells him he looks Mick Jagger’s mouth. Steven seems to know a lot about Mick’s mouth… Anyway, the dude belts out a f*cking scary version of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” His facial expressions were like an orgasm coming to life. He croons, “I want your love” as he looks into Randy’s eyes. Creepster to the max.

I remember this guy auditioning (Gabriel Franks) and I do not remember thinking he looked like Isaac at all. Check out a photo of him in Access Hollywood’s American Idol Gallery and see what you think!
Midem is now over, but we do have some more photos to post that have surfaced of Isaac and Taylor while at the event.

It seems as though they are working hard to find distributors to release Shout It Out overseas and are really making a great impression with everyone they are meeting! *fingers crossed* that it all works out well and a world tour is to follow in 2011!

I have just been notified that HansonStage’s Project “Musical Ride” was the Site of The Week at Hansonish.com the beginning of January! Very cool.
While in New York City, Hanson performed a showcase. Apparently they played at/for several ad agencies. Based on tweets it seems they performed for MRM, Kaplan Thaler & McCann. They also gave out free pizza at at least one of the locations.

The above photo was found on twitter (Original poster unknown)
@KateHenry posted this photo – noting that they did play MMMBop
The Daily What included Hanson in their “So This Happened Of The Day”
So This Happened of the Day: Nick writes: “Hanson (yes, THAT Hanson) played a showcase at work today. I got them to sign a Justin Bieber poster and take a picture with me. Two words: Christmas Card.”
Sadly for Nick, he may not live to see Christmas considering he just divided by zero.
[thanks nick!]
Hanson is listed as performing a Showcase on the SXSW website. Please keep in mind that Hanson has yet to officially confirm any appearance(s) at SXSW when making travel plans.
The official SXSW schedule is not out – but we will keep you updated on any new developments regarding Hanson and SXSW
