As the Chicago show is being recorded bear in mind you can't use cameras or phones inside the venue and if you do so you'll be removed.

Phew, and all because they're in a battle with their ex-label over being able to release the album. Man, when you lose a little, you geta LOT of compensation!

20th May-
The word now is that Underneath will be released in September- which is great! Finally-- a date! Okay not a fully confirmed one but still it's nice to know there is a date. Horrah!
11th May-
More pictures from the studio are up and there are random messages within hanson.net so check them out if you're a member, and if you're not there is some new stuff in the news, such as Tay guest-playing at a Rat Dog concert (like you do). Fun.
5th May-
There are random articles about the Island news on billboard.com which is basically about the same as the hanson.net transcript. Well that was worth it!
28th April-
On hanson.net news they have FINALLY said about the whole Island Def Jam mess. Apparently Hanson and the record label didn't "see eye-to-eye" which means the evil corporate scum wanted them to be a mass marketing tool to gain more of the public's money at their talent's cost... Uh, maybe I should lay of the Rage Against The Machine =) So yay! Freedom! Always thought they were way too 'out there' to try to compromise with companies that just want as much money as possible. They still seem to me like they are too much like a garage band like when they first started. Six years of struggling to make it just to get told they can't do things their way! I don't think so! =)
But, some bad news came from this article too. We now know that with Hanson's amazing gift to influence the world (especially young enthusiastic musicians) to follow their goals in life, they have now spawned EVIL! Yes Avril Lavigne has been quote to say they influenced her. Damn damn damn! Ah well at least they brought the world Michelle Branch. For that I'm happy. Still... BAD BOYS!
20th April-
Zac has posted a messgae in hanson.net with a progress report, saying they are recording more stuff and no, they are not sitting around on their arses. Which is nice to know. Also Ike has put on a message on the hotline about the CD being made for all you hanson.netters (soon I shall join you!! Muhahhaha!) which will be groovy as nobody else has heard it (although you'll never know with Kazaa at work...) So fun all round!
7th April-
OK- rumours are popping up back and forth over the whole Island Records deal. And we'll find out about it soon. So calm people... if worst comes to worst they could be playing at a nursing home near you! Woo!
18th March-
All those who are subscribers to Hanson.net (yes I will be joining you soon! yay!) will be receiving a bigarse membership pack through the post full of happybunny goodies. Horrah!

14th March-
God I should update this page more... Anyway all those living in a cave with their eyes shut and their fingers and their ears should know that hansonline and hanson.net have been made all bright and shiny with nice use of silloettes to look like their The Hansons =). Also Taylor is 20 today which means pints all round (well, more like baby formulas =) for surviving one fifth of a century. Horrah!

5th Januray-
Happy New Year! wooo!!! Who here's STILL hung over? I know I am! haha. Anyway myth turned rumour turned official statements that Hanson WILL tour Europe next time! Horray! Trip to Amsterdam anyone?? haha.

3rd December-
So Sundance have released the list of films showing and Hanson isn't on there. Poo. I suggest trying for the London Film Feastival- just cos then I can see it. Haha- well any others really. The Official Sundance Website

16th November-
Who the daddy?? Tay the daddy!! The rumours have finally been resolved with this little miracle named Jordan Erza Hanson, born October 31st at about 7am. The baby is premature but fine so that's very good to hear. How very very groovy. As Lee Evans put it- 'My balls work!! I am a MAN!' And this is true. And I don't give a damn about what fans are whinning about now-- 'why didn't we know??' They were left alone during the pregnancy and labour! Good! Congrats all the way and maybe it won't be long before Jordan starts banging a saucepan to the rhythm of the music...
See MTV News for more about the birth and also about the next album.

26th October-
At last- it is completed!! Muhahaha! So there were sixteen songs in total and now they're chosing which order it'll go in and singles and stuff =) Sounds fun. Hopefully they'll do some shows as well soon enough! Horrah! And hopefully they'll drag themselves to England and go on 'Later with Jules Holland' as he always has the coolest bands each week. Or better yet go on Parkinson! OR (the ultimate suggestion) V. Graham Norton!! Wicked cool!

21st October-
16 songs mixed so far now. So... how many songs are on this record again? In the words of Chris Evans-- "Two years off, who do you think you are, Pink Floyd??" haha

17th October-
OK, there are so many rumours and 'I know a guy who knows a guy who heard a rumour's that I have to say something about all this. I'm not saying I think these bozo's are telling the truth but all this about Taylor's wife being pregnant... is it that much of a big deal? Should we care? Apparently they got married because of the pregnancy, they haven't told anyone because they're afraid of the reaction and the delay of the record is in accordance with the 'fan's reaction to this shocking news'. Now, these facts are unsettling in my books. For starters if its being kept secret why are they telling these weirdos? (Who apparently are really close to Hanson. Uh huh.) They also have never struck me as being the kinds who would think we are affected so much by this news Tay had to marry hs girlfriend. Maybe he loved her so much he wanted to do the right thing? Maybe he was going to pop the question anyway? Or maybe they just wanted to be happy? Wow, now that's too much to ask from them, huh? Also I really haven't taken this news with anything other than thinking 'well, what would I have done in that situation?' It seems obvious they're in love (you only have to look at the wedding pics to see that) and if there is a bouncy baby soon enough then so be it! Just as long as they're happy is good enough for me.
As a Post Script, I really don't think there should be any worry in our reaction. Let the teenies cry! On the whole I am led to believe we have fans have matured as with the band themselves and so we should act on this in the best intentions- total support.

10th October-
The hills are alive with the sounds of... scratchng? Yes Hanson are now curently mixing the CD so maybe we'll hear it before we're all wiped out in WW3. Horray.

5th October-
Hanson are entering their documentry into Sundance! (Hopefully it'll be one step up from the Mutual Tulsa- haha) Go onto hansonhotline.com to hear the message from Ike. How cool. Hope they have as much fun as they did last time they were there such as sneeking into clubs, peeing on roofs, getting the flu... Fun. =)
