Video: Hanson covers Weezer’s “Troublemaker”

Between Monday’s Labor Day holiday and my two-day jaunt to Dallas to check out Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen’s new film “The Way,” I totally missed that Tulsa trio Hanson turned in a nifty cover of Weezer’s 2006 hit “Troublemaker” for this week’s installment of Billboard.com’s Mashup Mondays.

“Weezer’s an amazing band. … What I’ve always admired is the fact that they really…

Video: Hanson sings National Anthem at OKC Thunder playoff game

The Oklahoma City Thunder may have gotten off to a poor start Saturday in their Western Conference Finals playoff game against the Dallas Mavericks, but the evening itself actually began rather auspiciously.

As you can see in this YouTube video, Tulsa brother trio Hanson gave a great performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” prior to tipoff. You gotta love those strong harmonies.

Until…

Mmm Bop, baby

Two words helped to define my junior high experience:  Mmm bop.  

Alright, define may be a stretch, but I clearly remember the glory days of Oklahoma’s own boy band, Hanson, and rushing out to purchase their first album “Middle of Nowhere”. “Mmm Bop” was the song of 7th grade.  
 
Since then, the boys have all but fallen off the map… that is until now.  Hanson is now on tour and will make a stop at Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom on Wednesday night (9/30) with Hello Goodbye. 

Tickets can be purchased online starting at $32. 

Mmm Bop, baby.
