An awesome designer that I modeled for last week decided to make me a hoodie dress to wear to a sxsw party! I feel like a movie star with my one of a kind custom dress! Which party should I wear it to? I'm thinking maybe the I Heart Cavemen party Monday night. What do you guys think? Check out Tammy's other designs here:

Austin, TX prepare your city to rock!

http://tinyurl.com/354jy7

With Hansons fourth studio album, The Walk, which debuted in the Top 5 on Billboards Independent Chart, the band has announced a 3rd leg of The Walk Tour to begin April 9th.

In addition, Hanson will head out to Austin for two special shows at the SXSW Music Festival performing on March 13 at Austin Convention Center for Direct TVs Concert special and on March 15 at Cedar Door.

Said Taylor Hanson, We are excited to get back out on the road. We love playing live and interacting with our fans. This coming set of shows will be unique, with a mix of new songs and arrangements, each show will be different from the last.

LA Times praised the CD, The Walk is intelligent mainstream rock with a soulful influence. These brothers must be seen live, and Billboard described it as an iconic American sound.

Co-produced with legendary producer Danny Kortchmar (Billy Joel, James Taylor, the Eagles), The Walk was inspired, in part, by Hansons visits to South Africa and Mozambique, where they recruited children from the local orphanage to form a choir, who are featured on three songs on the new album including the current charity single Great Divide.

The proceeds from the song Great Divide have gone to fund AIDS treatment and research in South Africa. The band recently visited Africa again to deliver thousands of TOMS shoes, sold through their 48, one mile barefoot walks with fans, coinciding with their concerts across the US. Those Walk events will continue throughout the Spring leg of the tour.

Fanclub pre sale began February 26th at 10:00 a.m. MySpace and Local pre sale began February 27th at 10:00 a.m. and public on sale begins February 29th. Further details on purchasing tickets can be found at: www.hanson.net.

The Walk follows the 2004 debut release on their 3CG label, Underneath, which went to #1 on the Billboard Independent chart, producing the #2 single, Penny and Me, a Top 10 in the U.K. as well.

The bands 1997 debut, Middle of Nowhere, sold more than 4 million albums in the U.S., thanks to the chart-topping hit, MmmBop, which U2s Bono has called one of my favorite songs of all time.

The group received three Grammy nominations that year, including Best New Artist and Record of the Year.
