The band was originally called The Hanson Brothers. The three young boys sang a cappella and recorded songs like "Rockin' Robin", "Splish Splash" and "Johnny B. Goode", as well as their own material.

The three boys all started out playing the piano. Taylor and Isaac formed the band, but needed one more player, so Zac entered the group.^{[citation needed]} Later on, Isaac picked up a second-hand guitar, Zac borrowed an old set of drums, and Taylor became the keyboard player of what turned into a garage band. The band recorded two independent albums in their hometown of Tulsa, Boomerang (recorded in autumn 1994, released in 1995) and MMMBop (released in 1996). The latter featured the original version of the song "MMMBop", which would later become the runaway single on their debut commercial record Middle of Nowhere. The boys then found themselves at the South By Southwest (aka SXSW) music festival in Austin, Texas. There, they were promptly signed by manager Christopher Sabec.^[2] He shopped them to several record companies, most of which dismissed the band as either a novelty or fraud before Steve Greenberg, an A&R representative for Mercury Records, heard them play a set at the Kansas State Fair. After this performance, they were signed almost immediately by Mercury. They soon became a worldwide sensation with the release of their first major-label album, Middle of Nowhere.

1997–2000: Commercial success

Middle of Nowhere was released in the U.S. on May 6, 1997, which was declared 'Hanson Day' in Tulsa by Oklahoma's then-governor Frank Keating. ^[3] Although 'Hanson Day' was originally intended to be a one-time occurrence, many Hanson fans all over the world still recognize May 6 as Hanson Day every year. Hanson's popularity exploded during the summer of 1997, and Mercury Records released Hanson's first documentary Tulsa, Tokyo, and the Middle of Nowhere and their Christmas album Snowed In in the wake of their success. Hanson also launched MOE (which stood for Middle of Everywhere), a fan club magazine that ran for 12 issues. ^[4] Following its cancellation, several fans created HTP (Hanson Tribute Project) Magazine in the same fashion as MOE until it was discontinued in the summer of 2005.

After numerous unauthorized biographies of each of the brothers were published, Hanson turned to their close friend, Jarrod Gollihare of Admiral Twin, to write their authorized biography. Hanson: The Official Book reached number 9 on the New York Times Best Sellers List (nonfiction) on February 1, 1998. ^[5] The band was nominated for three Grammy Awards in 1998: Record of the Year, Best New Artist, and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. ^[6] During the summer of 1998, Hanson began a highly successful concert tour, the Albertane Tour. They performed a string of shows throughout stadiums and arenas in the U.S., targeting young audiences with a playful and energetic style. A live album, titled Live From Albertane, was released the following fall, as well as their second documentary The Road to Albertane. ^[7] Image File history File linksMetadata No higher resolution available. ...

Soon after they became famous, songs from Hanson's early independent albums, which are no longer in print, were leaked onto the Internet. However, the song files were poor quality. In response to the demand for their earlier work, Hanson re-released MMMBop as 3 Car Garage, minus 4 tracks. To date, the tracks from Boomerang have not been re-released, partly due to the fact that Hanson did not play any of the instruments on that album. Three tracks from Boomerang ("Boomerang", "More Than Anything", and Rain (Falling Down)") and two of the remaining tracks from MMMBop ("Incredible" and "Baby (You're So Fine)") were released on the first MOE CD sent to fan club members.

The brothers left their record label, Island Def Jam Records, due to a conflict with the producers, who felt their material was lacking marketability and had refused over 80 songs from the band.^[8] With their regular session bassist, Edwin Cruden (formerly of Idlewild), the band now works under their own independent label, 3CG Records ("3 Car Garage Records"), named for the three-car garage in which they first practiced as a band.

In November 2005, Hanson's old record label released Mmmbop: The Collection, a compilation of famous tracks from the first two albums and the consequent B-sides of singles. However, the CD never charted, partially due to poor distribution. The album also received criticism from Hanson's loyal fan base, as many fans disdained the record label that released the album. This was in large part due to Hanson's recent documentary and college tour, which did not frame the music industry in a positive light.^{[citation needed]} CD redirects here. ...

• On December 13, 1997's episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Helen Hunt, Hanson appeared in a sketch in which Hunt and Will Ferrell hijack an elevator at gunpoint and force them to listen to "MMMBop" as they slowly go insane. They played "MMMBop" earlier that night.
• The band was parodied in an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch, fighting against the Spice Girls. Both Hanson and the Spice Girls were killed by Marilyn Manson, after Manson cut down a lighting rig with a chainsaw.
• They were parodied on Celebrity Deathmatch a second time when the band, who had mysteriously revived, attempted to kill Marilyn Manson in the same manner that he had killed them. However, Isaac and Taylor chose Zac to handle the chainsaw, which was too powerful for him, and he ended up hacking himself and his brothers to death.
• On March 28, 1998's episode of MADtv, Downtown Julie Brown (played by Debra Wilson) interviews Hanson in the year 2015, which portrays the trio still looking and acting like teenagers: Isaac still has braces, Taylor still has long hair (albeit, he's balding), and Zac is still hyperactive and is also morbidly obese. After the interview, the band debuts their "comeback" video for their new song, "Ling Ling", which is dubbed by a female voice and is an obvious parody of "MMMBop".
• Hanson is mentioned in the 1999 New Radicals hit "You Get What You Give" in the controversial closing lines: "Fashion shoots with Beck and Hanson / Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson / You're all fakes, run to your mansions / Come around, we'll kick your ass in". Recently, Gregg Alexander of New Radicals has been collaborating with Hanson.
• Hanson have been recurring characters in the comic strip Superosity by Chris Crosby since their first appearance on May 4, 1999. In the comic they are portrayed as nigh-omnipotent beings who are sometimes mistaken for demons. Taylor Hanson explained this to a main character when he discovered their secret: "We're not hellspawn, Bobby. If there were a Satan, and there most definitely is, we would be his most-hated enemies. Which we are!" Isaac Hanson continued: "All Hanson brothers are granted magical, almost omnipotent powers at birth. Sort of like David Blaine: Magic Man. Or God." Other memorable appearances: auditioning for Star Wars: Episode II and fixing the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards so that David Alan Grier sweeps every category.
• During the first season of Family Guy, there is a scene featured where the Hanson tour bus breaks down in front of the Griffins' home, and Peter mistakes them for the fictional Children of the Corn and shoots them.

Peter Griffin - If you could have any woman in the world, who would it be?

Quagmire - Taylor Hanson.

[Awkward Silence]

Joe Swanson - Taylor Hanson's a guy.

[Pause]

Quagmire - [Laughs] You guys are yankin' me. "Hey, let's put one over on old Quagmire."

Peter - No, he's actually a guy, Quagmire.

Quagmire - What? That's insane. That's impossible.

[Pause]

Quagmire - Oh God. Oh my God! I've got all these magazines! Oh God!
