Hanson
is proof positive that brilliant records can come from just about anywhere. The
brothers Hanson (Ike, Tay and Zac) were born and raised in the drilling town of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since 1992 the brothers have
recorded two self-distributed CDs, written more than 100 original songs, and performed
in public humdreds of times.
But
it wasn't until the runaway succes of their single, "MMMBop", released in 1997, that
the pre-pubescent brothers gained national attention
The group's career may well have started
when Hanson's father's job took the family to live in Trinidad, Ecuador and Venezuela, during which time the boys developed
an obsessive love for the Time/Life compilation records covering the years 1957-1969.
The
boys wrote and recorded Middle of Nowhere in 1997,
their debut for Mercury Records containing "MMMBop". In the spring of 1998, Hanson released Three Car Garage. Live
from Albertane, recorded in Seattle
during their summer '98 tour, was released in the fall of the same year. This time Around, came out in 2000. And the lasted album Underneath Acoustic recorded in 2004, is in stores Now! Including the
single "Penny and Me".
