Missing Marit 

Yesterday Marit Larsen had her debut as a solo-artist in Stavanger. In Oslo sat her ex-boyfriend Isaac Hanson, missing her. 
?We were together for a year, but I talk to her all the time?, says Isaac Hanson (24). 

The romance between the former M2M-star and the oldest of the Hanson-brothers happened when M2M were supporting act on 
Hansons American-tour in 2000. ?Zach and Marion also had a romance, but it only lasted for two months, its what we call a 
tour-romance. Isaac dated Marit for a year?, says Tylor Hanson with a brotherly laugh. 

Moving a step forward The brothers who became popular with the song ?MmmBop?, and has sold close to 15 million albums, are 
not in Oslo to talk about Marit or Marion. They are here to promote their newest Album ?Underneath?. An album they have 
worked on for close to five years, and for which they started their own record company to have it released. The album has 
taken them a step forward, according to the brothers. ?The sound of the album is more mature, and from it you can tell that 
we are influenced by Nick Drake, Travis and Ryan Adams, but the influence from our earlier albums can still be heard also?, 
Tyler says. 

Not a love-relationship It is of great importance to the boys that the music is genuine, and their own. Therefore they 
Picked ?Penny and Me? as the first single off the album. ?Penny and me? is not about a relationship about Penny and me, 
but about the love of music. The name of the song came from the worlds most famous groupie, Penny Lane. She did not love 
the musicians she slept with, but their music. And that is what the song represents. 

Wish her good luck For it is important to Hanson that artists mean something with their music. That is why they asked M2M 
to join them on their 2000-tour. ?Marion and Marit were just the right ones for us, they really sparkled on stage. I have 
heard some of their new material, and they are both making great music?, Tyler says. 

Do you know that Marit is performing her new songs for the first time today? ?Yes, it is in Stavanger, isn?t it??, Isaac 
says. ?She mailed me about it?. 

Are you going there tonight? ?No, but I wish we could. She saw our show in Denmark recently. It would be nice to see her 
again and have dinner or something?, Isaac says. 

In march the boys are heading out on a long European-tour. If they make a visit in Norway then is not yet decided, and the 
support act has not yet been decided upon either. 

Would you consider cooperating with Marit again? ?We have played a lot with Marit earlier, and we get along fine. If the 
timescedule permits it, I do not rule out the possibility of us working together again.?, Tyler says. ?And if you see Marit 
tonight, you must absolutely say hello to her from me, and wish her the best of luck?, Isaac says before closing this 
interview.

Thanks Kath and Halvard!
