Hanson — the 90s kiddie band known for “MMMBop” — is coming to town. Pretty swell, right? Well, it gets even sweller.

Believe it or not, bands are falling all over themselves to win a contest that will allow them to open for the band at their Phoenix show.

The apparent winner?

Former Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz’s Phoenix-based band You Hang Up!

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.

$30,000

The closest competitors are Crash Coordinates and The Sounding. A bunch of other chaches also got skooled.

Shame on them. Seriously, the only thing more pathetic than entering a contest to open for Hanson is losing said contest to a former child actor’s band. You guys should probably have a long, serious talk at your next band practice, fellas.

As for Hanson, hopefully they’ll be able to let Motel 6 turn off the light for the night and crash at Frankie’s palatial new $2.6 million estate in beautiful Phoenix-proper.
