Ready To Get Weird Again? Hanson Heading back into the studio this fall.
Watch for Hanson's tour video this fall, 'The Road to Albertane'
Hanson's New video places Weird Al behind the Camera for the "Three Car Garage" album. In the video, Weird Al tackles the role of Bill Paxton's modern-day underwater scavenger, and "Titanic" star Gloria Stuart revisits her role, only this time around she is a devout follower of the Hansons. Instead of flashing back to the tale of the doomed ship, she regales Weird Al with stories of Hanson's early days. The clip should be turning up on MTV soon.
Hanson In Ringo Starr's Video Shoot: Ringo Starr's video for "La De Da," the first single from his much-heralded new album "Vertical Man," will feature Hanson in a clever sketch shot in New York's Times Square. The shoot, under the auspices of video director Nancy Brewer, had the 57-year old former Beatle drummer sitting on a bench where he's joined by the teen trio. In short order, the Hanson brothers are spotted and chased by screaming teenage girls. In a complete turnaround from Beatlemania, they leave behind Starr, untouched and unnoticed. Hanson also showed up at Starr's rare club appearance at the Bottom Line in New York Tuesday night.
Tentative plans have been made for recording to begin on a new CD starting sometime during late summer after the tour. Look for a release some time next year.
Hanson's new single will be "River" from the Three Car Garage Album, a video for it is made, and is playing on MTV.
