About Me

I'm the oldest one of the famous Hanson brothers. I decided to add one 's' in to my lastname after Zac, Isaac and Taylor managed to get their crappy faces in the billboards. I was an extramarital love child and my mother denied me for the first five years. At that time I used to live in bayou with our gundog Moses and maidservant Lekesha. After mothers denial period was over, she used to hide me under the porch each time when someone came on a visit. I can still hear her voice shouting "Please, someone, anyone, hide that bastard Hog, there're real people coming!". Childhood was hard...it was always Zac, Isaac or Taylor who got all attention. But let's forget about the past and concentrate on my current situation. Now I'm fairly sane and have a healty cynical attitude towards life. Maybe best way to sum up this nonsense is to use my friend's aphorism: "If it doesn't kill you, it'll make you fat."To be serious: music in various different forms has always been close to my heart. I've played bass and guitar since I was 12 years old. Currently I'm a member of an executive committee of "Kokkola Live Music Association" (KOKEMUS RY) and play bass in The Phonies. For more info about the The Phonies and KOKEMUS RY see:

"If you think you might need somebody
To pick you up when you drag
Don't loose sight of yourself
Don't let anyone change your bag."
