Taylor Hanson on Oklahoma tornado: We're in shock

Taylor Hanson and his brothers joined the fun at the premiere of "The Hangover Part III" in Los Angeles on May 20, 2013, but their thoughts were with the people in their home state of Oklahoma, where a massive tornado killed at least 24 people, including seven children.

"Like people across the country, our hearts go out to everybody that's been struggling and been hit by the tornado," Taylor told the Associated Press at the premiere, standing alongside brothers Isaac and Zac.

The Hanson pop trio, whose 1997 song "MMMBop" is featured in the comedy film, are from the city of Tulsa, located more than 110 miles from Moore, which was devastated by the deadly twister.

"We have family, our kids, they're at home in Oklahoma while the storm is happening so, I mean, I think we're just in shock and really just have that feeling that a lot of people do, which is, 'What can I do? How can I help?' and just grateful that so many people have already jumped in to lend a hand to those that were struggling," he added.

All three brothers are married with children. Isaac and Zac each have two, while Taylor and his wife welcomed their fifth child, a baby girl, last October.

There was more than one wolf pack walking the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Hangover Part III.” The band of brothers Hanson joined actors Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Ken Jeong to celebrate the third chapter in the “Hangover” franchise.

It might seem surprising to see Isaac, 32, Taylor, 30, and Zac, 27, promoting the movie, since they’re still best known for breaking into the music business as long-haired, squeaky-clean teenagers in the 1990s. But it turns out that their signature tune “MMMBop” is the first song on the movie’s soundtrack, and is played right at the top of the film.

“It’s a very funny scene,” Taylor Hanson said, dressed in a green suit jacket and a lock of his signature blonde hair falling across his face. “Whether you’re a Hanson fan or a ‘Hangover’ fan, I think you’re gong to find it funny.”

Isaac, the eldest Hanson bro, looked dapper in a slim black suit, bright pink pocket square, and his hair swooped high on his head. Zac, a.k.a. Little Hanson, was the most casual with a leather jacket, necklace, a five o’clock shadow, and shoulder length hair. Hey, they wouldn't be recognizable unless at least one of them had hair past his chin, right?

They also seem to be proud that their debut single from 1997 is still getting some play, even if it’s for comedic material. But it’s been fun watching this trio grow up, become husbands and fathers, and continue their music career. In fact, they’re promoting a new album “Anthem,” set for a release next month.

And since Hanson performed their first professional gig in 1992, this year marks the band’s 21^stbirthday. And how else could they celebrate but to come out with their very own beer, appropriately named MmmHops?

“People will actually be able to get a hangover with Hanson,” Taylor quipped. So, with a new album, a new beer, and a presence in a blockbuster flick, Hanson might be the band of the summer once again.
