Additional Information on MONA


On May 6th, 1997 HANSON released their debut album, Middle of Nowhere. The classic rock ‘n’ roll and R&B influences mixed with modern beats and rich harmonies were a sharp contrast to the current state of music, dominated by the Alternative scene. This new sound was a bold introduction to the world and was welcomed by music fans and critics alike. Selling more than 8 million copies, it was lead by the song MmmBop, a #1 hit single in 27 countries. Other singles included Where’s the Love, Weird and I Will Come to You.

“Hanson: where music is headed” was the header on promotional copies of the album. That statement may have seemed overreaching, but Middle of Nowhere soon proved worthy of such extraordinary claims. Rolling Stone called it one of the “essential albums of the 90’s” and it was given further recognition through three Grammy nominations. The nominations included record of the year, best new artist, and best pop performance. Isaac, Taylor and Zac were also recognized as the youngest Grammy nominated songwriters of all time. The accolades earned it iconic status among the music of that time – but it was merely the platform for a band committed to its music.


May 5th 2007, marking a decade on the global stage and 15 million albums sold, HANSON goes back to basics with the Middle of Nowhere Acoustic recording. The band revisits their iconic debut album and musical origin with a candid live performance before an intimate crowd. This performance was dedicated to the life long fans that have followed HANSON throughout four studio albums and numerous worldwide tours.

Guitarist Isaac Hanson of the rock group Hanson who was hospitalized following a show in Dallas, TX Tuesday night, underwent successful surgery today at Baylor University Medical Center for a form of pulmonary embolism known as venous thorasic outlet syndrome or "Paget-Schroeder Syndrome." The disease normally affects athletes whose upper body muscle development constricts the arteries from the heart and causes potentially fatal blood clots in the lungs.

The life-saving surgery was performed by Dr. Bradley Grimsley who was extremely satisfied with the results and expects Isaac to make a full and swift recovery.

Pending doctors final approval, Isaac is due to be released from the hospital tomorrow (Friday) and Hanson's North American "Walk Tour" in support of their new album of the same name will resume on October 8th in Knoxville, TN.

The band's agents and promoters are working on rescheduling the canceled dates in Tulsa, St. Louis and Kansas City and further announcements regarding possible make-up dates will be made as soon as possible.

UPDATE: Isaac Hanson left the hospital Friday after doctors removed a blood clot that caused his right arm to painfully swell during a concert this week.

Hanson underwent surgery Thursday for venous thoracic outlet syndrome, which doctors said interrupted the blood flow from his arm back to his heart.

"It was definitely difficult to finish the rest of the show noticing that there was something serious going on," said Hanson, 26, whose arm remains bandaged.

Dr. Brad Grimsley, who performed the surgery, said Hanson will need to have a rib removed in the next few months to help open his vein and prevent another clot. He will remain on blood thinners in the meantime.

Hanson said he took some aspirin during the band's set at the House of Blues on Tuesday when his arm began hurting. Hanson, who also had a blood clot removed about four years ago, said he recognized he was probably going through the same thing again.

Grimsley said that while the condition isn't usually life-threatening, there's a 40 percent chance of permanent disability if the condition isn't treated promptly.

"It's fortunate that he's so attune with his body," Grimsley said.

Hanson, best known for their 1997 hit "MMMBop," plan to resume their tour Monday in Knoxville, Tenn.

“We have some of the best fans in the world and we want to reward them for what they always do which is spread the word about our music, by making them the subject of that music itself,” said Zac.


This contest is all about spreading the word through banners you can place on your personal websites. Hanson.net will provide you with special banners to place on you MySpace, FaceBook, Live Journal, or other personal websites.

Isaac Hanson: “Being independent is about doing more for our fans and building a stronger connection directly with them. We hope that this special contest will excite everyone that is a part of it.”
