*Hanson (updated) - Live ... The Road To Albertane

"Where's the Love" RealAudio clip

Isaac Live Hanson Call it a sensation, a phenomenon, a juggernaut. Just over a year ago, three brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma firmly implanted "MMMBOP" into global cultural consciousness. Since then, they've travelled the world, appeared on countless TV shows and magazine front covers which have documented their signature brand of pop rock.

In the meantime they have racked up more than 12 million album sales. They are Isaac, Taylor & Zac - known as HANSON and their appearance on the scene sparked a movement of positivity and pure fun as infectious as their music.

Taylor Live Now comes the band's first "LIVE" album containing 12 spectacular performances from the band's tour of North America this year. "LIVE FROM ALBERTANE" includes much loved HANSON classics such as "MMMBOP", "WHERE'S THE LOVE", "I WILL COME TO YOU" and "A MINUTE WITHOUT YOU".

STILL no news on a tour - it definitely won't be this year (der) but we hold on to hope that they will be back in Australia soon!!!!

Zac Live *Mercury Records will be releasing a limited edition Australian exclusive collectors box which will be available if you pre-order the LIVE FROM ALBERTANE album. This specially designed box has space to hold all four Hanson albums including LIVE FROM ALBERTANE.

*For a chance to win a personal phone call by the band - be listening to Ugly Phil's Hot 30 countdown from Monday November 2nd!

*In addition to the new LIVE album - Hanson are releasing the new long form video "ROAD TO ALBERTANE: HANSON TOUR 98". This was filmed live at the Key Arena in Seattle and includes additional behind the scenes footage. The release date is 9th November 1998 and the total run time of the video is 60 minutes.

Taylor IS TAYLOR TAKEN? In this month's issue of TV HITS - this question is answered when Taylor is asked if his girlfriend is Ozzy Osbourne's daughter Aimee: Taylor: "(laughs) Um, you know that's wild! Because that rumour has gotten around, you know, that has gone all over the world! That is just a big rumour. Just a big tabloid rumour. We've met, um, we've met most of his daughters two different times, so they were nice, they were cool to meet - but um, definitely no relationship whatsoever! Not like that!
