Hansonly Yours

Hi everyone!

It's Kerrie, owner and founder of Hansonly Yours magazine. I'm here bringing everyone New Year Cheers and to say that 2006 will be the kickoff year for the magazine. After a brief hiatus, we're back and ready to attack! Haha that sounded so corny!!

I'm in the middle of getting the okay from my co-founder, Tee, to merge the magazine into not only a Hanson magazine, but a Hayden Christensen as well. If you don't know who Hayden is...let me give you a hint. He played George Lucas' most evil villian of all time in Star Wars. That's right! My fandom has found a way to the Canadian cutie and I think adding him to the magazine would expand the diversity of the magazine. It would be cool, don't you think?

There will be many changes going on for the next few weeks, months even. No official launch date has been set in stone...but just know that we are going to kick off this year. I'm hoping for a spring release. And hopefully Hanson's doc. will come out this year too.

If you are not part of the staff and want to be involved somehow, email Tee or me. Contacts are below.

Thanks for reading and being a subscriber and/or Team Member. Happy 2006!!

Love, Kerrie

HANSON AND PAT MCGEE BAND JOIN FOR LIVE AND ELECTRIC TOUR ’05,
EXCLUSIVE AOLTICKETS.COM PRE-SALE BEGINS MONDAY, AUG. 22; FREE
LIMITED EDITION TOUR SAMPLER FOR EACH TICKET BUYER

Opening band contests sponsored by college radio stations in each tour market coupled with screenings of Hanson’s self-produced documentary Strong Enough To Break at associated college campuses; The Best of Hanson Live and Electric to be released on Hanson’s indie 3CG Records on Oct. 11

NEW YORK, August 15, 2005—You may think you know Hanson, but the trio’s Live and Electric Tour ’05, which begins Oct. 18 at the Roxy in Atlanta, GA, and runs through a Nov. 23 performance in their hometown of Tulsa, OK at Cain’s Ballroom, shows a side of the band that has taken eight years of what the New York Post calls “talent and perseverance” to “brilliantly display what you can achieve.” Tickets go on sale in selected tour markets on Aug. 27, Sept. 10, Sept. 17 and Oct. 1, with every purchaser receiving a free limited edition Live and Electric Tour ’05 CD sampler, to be distributed at each performance. Pre-sale tickets will be available exclusively at AOLtickets.com starting Monday, Aug. 22.
The group will be supported on all dates (except Hampton Beach Nov. 5) by fellow indie outfit the Pat McGee Band. Commented Taylor Hanson: “We’re really pumped to be able to offer the Pat McGee Band this opportunity, because they’ve gone through a similar set of circumstances to us, leaving a major label to go out on their own. They are truly a great live band, and we’re looking forward to have them join us on our tour.” Said Pat: "I'm grateful to Hanson for giving us this chance to tour with them. As independent bands that have gone through the major label experience, we have a lot in common, and I'm looking forward to joining with them to give both their, and our, fans a great show."

Hanson brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac continue to demonstrate that evolution on the brand-new album The Best of Hanson Live and Electric, which hits retail stores Oct. 11 on their own 3CG Records label. For a band that has sold more than 15 million albums, Live and Electric spotlights Hanson performing all their platinum-plus hits, as Entertainment Weekly put it, “newly energized as they kick out brawny guitar-rock jams,” recorded live last June before an enthusiastic audience in Melbourne, Australia. That includes the chart-topping “MmmBop” along with “Where’s the Love,” “This Time Around,” “I Will Come To You” and “Penny & Me,” as well as bonus tracks “If Only” and “A Song to Sing.” Showing their versatility, the album also includes Hanson’s covers of Radiohead’s “Optimistic” and U2’s “In a Little While.” A limited edition CD/DVD version will also be available with new live footage, never-before-released track, “Being Me,” music videos, and a photo gallery among the bonus features.
The 24-date U.S. tour will include visits to local colleges, where the band will talk to students about their experiences in the music business, and especially their quest to succeed as independents outside the consolidated corporate culture. At each campus along the tour route, Hanson will screen their self-produced documentary, Strong Enough to Break, illustrating the current state of the music business, why the band decided to set up their own record label. At the conclusion, they will hold Q&A sessions with the students.
“Our choice to become independent again was about our belief in the relationship between us and our fans,” said Taylor. The band’s last album, Underneath, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Independent Album chart in 2004. “We’re passionate about the future of independent music.”

Pointing to the success of their 3CG Records, the band looks to build a grass-roots community of artists, labels, promoters and fans to help bring independent music to the forefront.
“The future depends on the commitment and passion of musicians, fans and the industry to career artists,” said Zac. “If we don’t get involved, we only have ourselves to blame.”
To demonstrate their support for independent music, Hanson will work with local college radio stations and newspapers to sponsor a contest to select a developing band as its opening act in each tour market. Bands are invited to submit music to 3CG Records, with three finalists chosen by the label to be spotlighted on hanson.net and the winner chosen by a public online vote. Indie bands in Hanson tour markets can get further information through local college radio outlets.

The Hanson track, “Crazy Beautiful,” from the new album, will be available pre-release as an iTunes exclusive starting Tuesday, Aug. 30, while “Underneath,” also from the new disc, will be carried by selected online retailers before the CD hits stores nationwide. Live acoustic versions of tracks including “Misery” and “Underneath” will be featured as part of a Hanson Connect Set on Sony Music’s online retail site Connect.com, also launching Tuesday, Aug. 30. On that same day, the band will participate in an online chat on USAToday.com at 2 p.m. (ET).
The venerable Village Voice predicts, “These hardworking brothers’ valiant quest for independence shall be rewarded.” With a headlining tour and brand-new live album coming their way this fall, Hanson’s fans will be rewarded, too. For more information, go to www.Hanson.net

btw, this is Marauder_ here .. aka tee.
HY mag still needs staff, so go apply at hansonsource.com

Readers and Subscribers,
It has come to my decision that Tee will be taking over the magazine for awhile. I don't have the time at the moment to continue managing everything. If you need anything, please direct yourselves to her.

I will return, I'm just not sure when exactly. I am, however, hoping for a winter 2005 to spring 2006 release. My life is basically not going well and I need some time to re-organize, re-settle, and re-think things.

Thank you and best of luck to Tee,
Kerrie
Owner of HY

PS ; please contact Tee at rockon@hanson.net

hey guys, it's Tee here.

HansonSource.com is almost ready to go up. in the meantime, I thought you'd like to know the ideas we've come up with so far for the magazine.

We do have another writer, by the name of Alex who provided some of the great ideas. So hopefully, this will give you guys
more of an idea of what you want to do for the mag.




COVERD
a list of songs hanson has coverd, and a list of HANSON songs other bands have coverd.

MP3'S
the pro's and cons of downloading full cds instead of buying them.

what HANSON think of ____
this'll be a bit hard, but find out what they think of stuff besides drugs. like what they think of the famous bands that like them, and the contreversy around Harry Potter and such.. (IE: oddly, many christians think Potter promotes witch-craft and is evil.. yet, the kids celebrate christmas and easter... and essentially is Good VS Evil. )

What the others think
Clebs like Hanson. Why not feature that? "Life is short. Stalk Hanson!" -- Lifehouse! and ask newer bands what they think & local bands!


Interviews
Interviewing the indie bands that open for them and fan artists, site owners, fanfic writers, fan-bands, ect.

dunno what to call this one yet.
what fans were doing in 1997 & the day they first ever heard mmmbop

spotlight
fan sites, fan-based bands, fan artist, fan fic, ect.

from then to now.
a look at how Hanson, Music, Fans, has changed since the release of MMMBop.

Back in 1997.
other things that were going on besids mmmbop.

Deeper
Many fans claim how Hanson mean so much more to them then just a band. (I'm one of those people,) so, this can tell the story of why their more importent. how they saved their life, ect... also why some songs have a very special meaning to people.

Are You Listening?
the changing face of the music industry, music becoming more commercialised, less accessible, what does the project aim to do)

Opening Acts
Hanson's support acts/bands they have mentioned (for example, the band that supported them in Aus are indie and have just released their debut album, this is a great way to introduce people to new music and promote indie artists)

Odd Fashion
IE: Taylors scaf collection and the odd places he wears them. (Austrailia,)

Hanson Day
Various Fanson celeberations all over the world.

Birthday Projects
something to post on HNET for the guys' bdays.

Music
plug unknown musicians. local bands, or bands that you dont normally hear about. IE: Tripsis... who?.. Exacly. Hanson's all about the music, innit? BANDS though. Real musicians. the ones that diserve the fame.


....of the moment
picture of the moment, song of the moment, layout of the moment, artist of the moment.. all that kinda stuff.

Concert Reviews/Encounters
met them, or just seen them.

So, if you see anything you'd actually like to write, please let us know. You're more then welcom to give more ideas. The more the better!

Hi. My name is becky. I'm a fellow fan of Hanson, musician and script writer. I was thinking about writing a movie in which a well known band (such as Hanson) takes a talent musician under their wing. This is where I need you help.
I'm trying to decide whether I should use Hanson's identities or should I make alias names for them.

Let me know. Just reply to this post with
True Identities
Total Alias

I totally apprectiate this. I'm going to have this poll going until Friday June 10th at midnight. After that the votes don't count ( unless your hanson, and I know their screen names.) Hanson if you read this please I would apprectiate your input since you're the ones inspiring me. You guys and gals are so awesome.
God Bless
Becky

...I made an ass of myself, so that's always fun...
