Hanson w/ Hellogoodbye, Steel Train and Sherwood

Tonight @ The Rave, 6:30 p.m.

By Shepherd Express Staff
 
Once their “MMMBop” 15-minutes expired and their label did the inevitable, dropping them, the band Hanson has become a walking survival guide for one-hit wonders. Taking control of their image, the brothers passed themselves off as victims, telling their side of the story in the sympathetic documentary Strong Enough to Break. They've since toured and recorded as an independent band, mining their minor celebrity for enough press to survive on. They likely don’t have another hit single in them, but given the teen-pop stigma they’re saddled with, the mere fact that they’re still touring behind semi-respectable new material is something of a triumph.

Wow- bitter much?

 

Really! Gotta feel a bit sorry for the unfulfilled curmudgeon who wrote this.

Hanson are hardly one hit wonders, as they have had three Billboard top ten hits and another in Billboard's top 20. Their current independently-released CDs are selling as well as many major label releases, without the bloated marketing budgets. Many artists would love to have Hanson's "survival guide".
