The 113 – The Paintings of Shout it Out!
Pre-Order The 113 Painting Book Now!
In early 2010, as a part of the release of the HANSON’s 5th studio album, “Shout it Out” the band set out to create a robust album package that shined light on the experience of listening and connecting with music and art, by putting together an unprecedented selection of items all infused with their love of art and the vibrance which reflects the music on “Shout it Out”. These platinum packages included a custom record player,headphones,photobook,LP,Screenprinted poster,documentary,listening manual and special unreleased demos from the album, but most importantly, each package included a one of a kind painting each one crafted by a member of the band.
Over several weeks leading up to the album’s release, 113 custom paintings were created by Zac, Taylor and Isaac, each inspired by the iconic emblems and pop art style surrounding the project. Each of these paintings, individually numbered and signed by the artist, reflect the personal nature and dedication the band has espoused, not only for their music, but for every aspect of their art. Though the original pieces are now in the hands of 113 fans, this book gathers together the entire 113 paintings collection and presents them as one piece of art, memorializing a truly unique reflection of HANSON and their vision.
“For weeks we were consumed by paint and canvas with a surreal sense that soon we would have to part with the paintings themselves, that the original pieces we created would no longer be ours. In a way painting is that most raw reflection of how art is only the artists for a moment, once completed it’s given to everyone who touches it”. – Zac Hanson

I don’t believe it notes which session these songs are from – but according to the archives Letters in the Mailbox was only sung at the 7pm Saturday session and Need You Now was only done at the 3pm Saturday session. I Am and Never Let Go were done at both Saturday sessions and Take Our Chances was done at all 3 sessions.
Leave it to Charlyne Yi to go from “Knocked Up” to would-be Freddie Mercury. The comedienne, best known for a brief but memorable role in the Judd Apatow comedy and a star turn in “Paper Heart,” a 2009 semi-documentary about her are-they-or-aren’t-they romance with fellow awkward actor Michael Cera, has turned her attentions to music. She’s playing in two bands, one serious (The Old Lumps, named after a friend’s dog) and one less so –- that’d be Flesh (the Racist Crayon) — and this Friday, she’ll use her monthly night at the UCB Theater to pay homage to one-hit wonders-turned-pop-lifers Hanson. (Mercury and his band, Queen, sit at the top of her influences in all departments: “I wrote a script about Queen but I don’t know if it’s going to get made.”)
…
BX: On Friday, you’re doing this Hanson show at UCB — is it going to be the adorable “MMMBop” Hanson or, like, old, 2010 Hanson?
CY: Everyone who’s playing a Hanson member is in a band. We’re going to each pick two songs. I’m picking some old songs that I really like because I think we all secretly love the first Hanson album. I know Roxy [Radulesco], from Rad Magic, she’s going to play one of the new songs because she secretly really loves it. We’re going to try some comedy bits. Casey [Trela, of High Ho Silver Oh] and Roxy have never done comedy on stage, they just mainly have bands, so we’re going to experiment with that. I’m really excited, I feel like they’re two of the funniest people I know, they’re naturally funny so it’ll be interesting to see how our comedy bits go down.
…
BX: With “Hanson” this weekend and “World of Pain” and so on, you’ve been trying a lot of different styles –- is there anything you’d like to do on stage you haven’t yet?
CY: I really want to write and direct plays and not be in it. I wasn’t even supposed to be in “World of Pain” but then I kind of was jealous. How do you get someone to come to your monthly show if you’re not even in your own show? Are people going to care? I’m trying to slowly transition.
