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!

When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$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.
