BESKRIVELSE

The Hanson Brothers are a side-project created by Rob and John Wright with Tom Holliston (all members of the legendary Canadian band Nomeansno). They took their name from characters in the cult ice-hockey film Slap Shot.

Ken Jensen of D.O.A. was the original touring drummer for the Hanson Brothers, but died in a house fire in 1995. Ken Kempster (Showbusiness Giants) became Kenny Hanson II for subsequent tours. Currently, Ernie Hawkins serves as the band's touring drummer.

Their songs, performed in a Ramones style, focus mainly on beer, ice hockey and girls.

Originally started as a humorous side project, the band have since released three full-length albums as well as several singles. The Hanson Brothers have toured almost as extensively as their alter egos Nomeansno (sometimes even opening up for themselves at performances) playing their unique blend of melodic, uptempo, raw punk rock everywhere from Calgary, San Francisco and London to Nova Gorica and Copenhagen. In 2000, four of the band's songs were featured in the NHL Rock The Rink game for the Sony PlayStation.
