Hanson opines on pop, style<\/b>
\nKENT KIMES – NIGHT CAP<\/p>\n

02 July 2004<\/p>\n

“MmmBop!”<\/i><\/p>\n

Remember that catchy pop ditty from the late ’90s sung by those cuddly, long-haired Midwestern kids who played their own instruments?<\/p>\n

Well, those kids aren’t so young anymore (making me feel really old).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been an old soul,” explained Isaac, in a recent conversation from his Oklahoma home. “I would have died to be 16 years old and seen Chuck Berry play in the ’50s.”<\/p>\n

Much has changed in pop music circles since Hanson’s smash debut album “Middle of Nowhere,” released in 1997 by Mercury Records.<\/p>\n

The group released a followup that failed to gain much attention, and the relationship with Mercury dissolved.<\/p>\n

Hanson’s latest record came out on the fellas’ own label, and the disc features collaborations with Matthew Sweet and former New Radicals leader Gregg Alexander.<\/p>\n

But Isaac doesn’t care if Hanson isn’t on the cover of “Teen People” anymore.<\/p>\n

“Success to me is the next record, the next tour,” he said. “We’re in this for a career.”<\/p>\n

Monday’s show will also be Hanson’s first all-electric engagement in four years, Isaac said, and the tour will be filmed for inclusion in a documentary the brothers are making and hope to release theatrically.<\/p>\n
