Hold on to your eardrums; Hanson are heading back to Australia.
Probably their fans have mellowed a bit since the band’s glory days, but I still expect a bit of hysteria when those blonde brothers visit Australia this September, some seven years after their last trip Down Under.
No doubt we’ll enjoy a bit of “MMMBop” and other Middle of Nowhere gems, but the trio are also touring to promote their fifth album Shout It Out. Slated for a summer release, the disc promises that optimistic blend of soul and pop the band has always produced, albeit with some deeper vocals.
Tickets for Hanson’s brand new shows go on sale on April 12 from the usual outlets.
