Hanson isn’t above a clever gimmick.
The ’90s trio behind the unforgettable cultural sensation “Mmmbop” just announced that they’re taking off on their ‘Underneath Experience Tour’ this fall. They’ll play their 2004 album “Underneath” in its entirety two nights in a row at venues all over North America on the run.
That’s not all, though.
Each night will be wholly different ‘Underneath Experience’ experiences.
On night one, Taylor, Isaac and Zac will perform an acoustic version of the 13-song record along with special guest Matthew Sweet. To sweeten the deal, all “night one” shows will be followed by an afterparty DJ’d by Taylor.
After that, they’ll return to the same venue the following night for an electric set accompanied by Phantom Planet.
And, yes, they’ll bring their unconventional tour to New York City.
Their first night (aka the acoustic set) goes down at Palladium Times Square on Wednesday, Oct. 16. The brothers will fire up the amps for their electric night two on Thursday, Oct. 17.

“Underneath”
The 13-track 2004 record is a departure from the boy band’s well-documented bubblegum pop sound.
Over 54 minutes, they lean into hard-charging yet harmonious rock, jangly indie pop, soaring ballads and radio friendly jams about misery all while wearing their earnest hearts on their sleeves.
Undeniable highlights include the infectious opening track “Strong Enough To Break,” shiny, Hall and Oates-esque “Lost Without Each Other” and energetic “Get Up & Go.”
Don’t skip the horn-heavy “Crazy Beautiful” either. While Hanson clearly tried to escape the “Mmmbop” sound, you can hear a bit of the undeniably catchy hit in there.
