Hanson – 3.14.08
Fucking Hanson. Are you kidding me? When we saw they were on the Sansa Playground bill everyone was sort of laughing about it. I was hanging out in the VIP area and we were all joking about how we had to see Hanson because it was going to be so funny. A few songs in they are covering Bill Withers and I find my self singing a long and realizing they were fucking awesome. One of the guys who was joking about them was talking about how they just completely blew him away and how he wanted to quit music because he would never be as good as they were. I am not sure if I liked them so much because I expected them to suck, or because they were actually that good, but I will tell you that they were my favorite act I saw at SXSW and that I keep telling people about them.
Also they recorded their record before the MmmBop one at the same studio the Gaskets record at so we know some of the same people. They were cool guys and we talked a bunch and I got to tell them about the time I had my first one night stand and I was having sex with this girl and I looked down and she had a Hanson tramp stamp tattoo. I told the guys about it and they got a kick out of it.
Also, there were like 100 cute 19 year old hipster chicks who showed up just to see them so that was fun… and no they didn’t do MmmBop. Check the photos here.

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts and HQ pics – awesome!
Trust me. They were (are) just actually that good. 😉
yeah… they’re not so bad 😉
I’m glad you gave them a second chance. I mean… no matter how good you are, if you start your career at 11, singing a song about mmms and bops you will definitely need people to give you a second chance.
