Hartamophone Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Apparently the new Hanson single was in heavy rotation on a Chicago rock station for a few weeks, getting a large number of requests and really positive listener feedback, before the station dropped the bomb of telling people who it was.

Rob Not Bob Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 which one would you be, RnB? Spite or Envy?Actually, upon further reflexion and given the fact that Hux owns a sailboat, yuo'd have to be SpiteI was banking on me being Spite ... I am plenty Spiteful.

Freak By Night Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ... I did call By Law Enforcement and in true Ottawa fashion- they didn't show up. No surprise though, it seems you can park anywhere in this town as long as you are not in a standard automobile.You should write a letter to the editor of the Ottawa Sun about this.

Patchoulia Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Has anyone ever seen Kathy Griffin talking about meeting Hanson? I think I might have peed my pants laughing at that one..classic..I think it's on one of her older (late 90s?) DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 They were embarrased.I am sure it wasnt because they were going to see Hanson but because the "old creepy bus driver" was screaming at them thanks to his hearing aid not working.

AD Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hanson rocks Bronson CentreLynn Saxberg , Ottawa CitizenPublished: Thursday, December 06, 2007You gotta hand it to Hanson for creating a tight show that overflowed with positive energy. After a decade playing together, the three brothers sure know how to rock out, as they demonstrated throughout Wednesday's concert at Bronson Centre.With Zac bashing the drums, Isaac cranking an electric guitar and Taylor hammering the keyboards, along with the crunch of a bassist and a second electric guitarist, the band dove into the anything-is-possible anthem, the Great Divide. A string of similar-minded rockers from the new album, the Walk, were deployed without wasting a second.The audience, predominantly female and under 25, surged with every power chord and squealed at the sweet harmonies created by the three sets of pipes on stage. The barrage of punchy rock songs might have become tiresome for a less enthusiastic crowd, but not these pumped-up gals. Decibel for decibel, their voices matched the amplification of the band.A couple of acoustic guitars and a djembe drum signaled a welcome change of pace as the brothers settled into an acoustic segment that contained a reworked version of their breakthrough hit, MmmBop. The pop-rock ditty that swept the world when the boys were barely in their teens was reinvented as a groovy campfire jam. As the band softened and reshaped the music, the crowd couldn't resist singing along, the twentysomethings relishing a rare opportunity for nostalgia by shouting at the top of their lungs and raising their phones to capture the image.The level of devotion was impressive, especially considering it was not a sold-out show. About 600 were in attendance, which is about 200 short of a full house, but their vocal exuberance had the power of a much bigger crowd.On stage, Isaac described them as amazing fans and thanked them for sticking it out for 10 years, not only supporting the brothers through their record-company woes and health problems, but also encouraging them as they started families of their own. (Yes, the lads are old enough to be married with kids!)It seems Hanson fans are also doing their part to help the band make the world a better place. Inspired by a trip to South Africa and Mozambique, Hanson launched several projects to raise money and awareness for the plight of children in Africa, in conjunction with this year's release of their indie debut, the Walk.One program directs the proceeds from downloaded sales of the song, the Great Divide, to a hospital in South Africa. Another calls for the brothers to take a mile-long walk in each city of the tour, a pre-show ritual designed to bring attention to tomsshoes.com. (For every pair of shoes purchased at tomsshoes.com, another pair goes to a child in Africa.) The brothers' support has helped - after 37 of Hanson's mile-long walks, the company was able to make a shoe-drop of 50,000 pairs.Intimidated by the forecast for bitter cold, Hanson decided to cancel the walk in Ottawa, mostly out of concern for fans who might camp out beforehand. In other cities, the Walk was often a barefoot excursion, in solidarity with children in Africa. But with the recent snowfall in Ottawa, navigating the sidewalks was a challenge that required winter boots, if not snowshoes.However, more important than the physical walk was the message that small purchasing decisions can have a big impact. "The most important thing about doing it is identifying ways that we can take action in simple ways," said Zac in an interview before the concert.By showtime, the brothers found out that fans took action on their own - some did the walk without them. "Today we were worried about the cold," Taylor said from the stage. "We said we aren't going to walk but you guys did it anyway. That's probably the coolest thing that happened so far."
