Remember that catchy pop ditty from the late '90s sung by those cuddly, long-haired Midwestern kids who played their own instruments? Well, those kids aren't so young anymore (making me feel really old). Nightcap recently caught up with Hanson elder statesman, Isaac, a sagelike 23 years old, to discuss the trio's new album, the state of pop music, and the band's summer tour, which kicks off Monday with a gig at the House of Blues in North Myrtle Beach. Hanson, which also includes brothers Zac (drums) and Taylor (vocals and keyboards), will always be known for the bubblegummy "MMMBop," and "Where's the Love," but if you delve a bit deeper you discover classic pop, R&B, soul and rock 'n' roll roots, best exemplified by the songs they cover in concert, including stuff by Little Richard; Crosby, Stills and Nash's "Teach Your Children Well"; and Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love."
