After selling more than 15 million albums, Live and Electric spotlights Hanson performing all their platinum-plus hits, as Entertainment Weekly put it, "newly energized as they kick out brawny guitar-rock jams".   The album includes the chart-topping "MmmBop", "Where's the Love", "This Time Around", "I Will Come To You" and "Penny & Me," with bonus tracks "If Only" and "A Song To Sing." Showing their versatility, the album also includes Hanson's covers of Radiohead's "Optimistic" and U2's "In a Little While."

."An album of mature, guitar-driven songs …with plenty of future singles included here, they could be 2005's answer to Embrace - the surprise comeback of the year." - Music Week, Album of the Week

'Underneath Acoustic Live' is a fantastic and unique chance for the fans to see the band up-close-and-personal at the world famous House of Blues venue in Chicago. In addition to the live concert, recorded in crystal clear 5.1 surround sound, the DVD includes backstage footage, an exclusive interview with the brothers and a special preview of their new documentary.

The Underneath Acoustic Live Tour received great reviews in the US:

"Hanson -brilliantly displayed what you can achieve when you have talent"
New York Post

"Since their debut six years ago, the Hanson brothers have grown up to be young men and serious songwriters. But they haven't forgotten how to write infectious pop rock."
Washington Times

"The songs are still irresistible and hooky with a maturation of craft - proving yet again that these young men have real passion and real talent for making music."
Boston Herald

The tour continued when the Hanson brothers arrived in the UK at the beginning of November for three live concerts at London Shepherds Bush Empire (5 November), Manchester Academy 2 (6 November) and Glasgow King Tuts on 8 November.
