What do you get when you mix members of the Smashing Pumpkins, Hanson, Fountains of Wayne and Cheap Trick? Apparently... Tinted Windows. Aidan Vaziri at SFGate has an amusing interview with Taylor Hanson, the 26-year old father of four, in which he says, and we quote, "Heroin has a real down side, so I try to stay away from the hard stuff" and "I've figured out what to do with my hands ... onstage... I subtly molest the mike stand." The kid apparently has grown up a lot in the 12 years since 1997. You can catch the demi-supergroup at GAMH on Friday.

Hey, that's not bad... kind of reminds me of TSAR

This is the most bizarre supergroup I've ever heard of. I might go see them just on spec having never heard the music.

I wonder if they'll play Mmmbop?

Who's the creepy old guy on the left? I mean, I can't be the only one with this question

I'm guessing he's from the band that formed in the 70's. I dunno, just a guess. But great job on that scathing comment. You know, pointing out that there is an older gentleman in the group.

It's the drummer from Cheap Trick, which gives him much more cred than all the others.

hanson + fountains of wayne + james iha + that (old) guy from cheap trick

... you know, that actually kind of makes sense (that they would form a band)

Meh. I listened on the Myspace link. Kinda generic guitar-heavy rock. I hear a lot of 80's in there. Not terrible, but not the Traveling Wilburys for the oughts.
