Lucky! I have no clue when I'll get that (or the "Taking the Walk" book or Middle of Nowhere Acoustic). I'm glad that it's only $25...well, $25 plus Hanson.net's crazy shipping prices. If nothing else, I'll ask for it for Christmas. I pretty much get $7.50 a week to spend (well, it's $15 every 2 weeks), so I really have to choose what I get, and there are cheaper things coming out to be gotten.

Zac answered some fan questions on their website, and this one makes my wallet happy, but me sad. But they'll still be touring in the fall:

When will the new album come out:

The new album will not be coming out until next year, some time in the first quarter is what we are thinking, we planning to spend the rest of this year putting together the partners who will release the album outside the US.

Hanson.net is being revamped, but if you go to the homepage, there are concert dates listed!!!
Hanson.net's homepage wrote:TOMS Presents Hanson & Hello Goodbye

Use Your Sole Tour

Also featuring Steel Train & Sherwood

Join the Use Your Sole Tour bands and TOMS for a one mile barefoot walk the day of the show to fight poverty in Africa. Find out more at UseYourSole.com and TakeTheWalk.net.

(UseYourSole.com is not currently working, at least for me...)

I am so beyond excited! I had no idea they were announcing tour dates so soon! Only a few shows seem to be going on sale this Saturday, though.

Hanson will perform a 7 night concert series in New York. On each of the first four nights, they will perform each of their four previous studio albums (presumably excluding <i>Snowed In</i>), respectively, in their entirety. The fifth concert will presumably feature a live debut of their forthcoming all-new studio album. The sixth and seventh will be Hanson's performance at two consecutive nights of the famous Bamboozle Festival.

Sounds awesome! Wish I could go.

Hanson Team With Funk Brother, Michael Jackson Collaborator For June LP “Shout It Out”
http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/i ... ut-it-out/
(via hanson.net)

And, from the same article, info on the 5 NYC shows:
The sold-out shows will be streamed online, and Hanson says the band has locked in guest appearances from musicians who have played on previous Hanson records — a pool that includes blues guitarist Jonny Lang, Sly & the Family Stone member Rose Stone and singer-songwriter Matthew Sweet.
I'm SO glad that they'll be streamed online! Phew!

Woohoo! June 1 release date! Can't wait for this album. I'm also thrilled that the shows will be streamed online (hopefully not just for fan club members).

Um, a poster on Oh No They Didn't claims that this is the new single (it's not the whole song, just a little of it):
