The Oneders (the full band!)

The "One-Hit Oneders Revue" features Scott Rogness and Rick Elias , songwriting partners and bandmates since being introduced through Geffen Records in Los Angeles. Years later, their musical partnership and songwriting skills so impressed Tom Hanks, they were asked to read his script and "write whatever you want." The result was the creation of five songs that mimicked the sound of 1964 for Hanks' film THAT THING YOU DO!

As Scott puts it: "Rick and I were asked to create music for THE WONDERS, a band that would have been on the Billboard charts in 1964. So the songs had to have elements of all those great '60's bands, from the Stones, to The Beatles, The Kinks, and American Bands like the Knickerbockers, The Standells, Nashville Teens and the like. The music became a hybrid mix that took you back into that period and really propelled the energy of the soundtrack."

At one point, Tom Hanks and Producer Gary Goetzman needed one more song. They gave Scott and Rick a title and a deadline: "write a song called Let Me Be The One and bring it back tomorrow." They exited to a hotel room to create something and personally auditioned it for Hanks the next day! That is the kind of pressure and excitement that circled this project.

Rick was responsible for the guitar work on their songs and others as well as the classic 12-string guitar parts. Rick has also been a successful recording artist in his own right and a member of the late Christian artist Rich Mullins Ragamuffin Band. His is also a much in-demand producer in Nashville.

Scott contributed lead and background vocals in the film and soundtrack. He is the singing voice of Lenny, the young guitarist of The Wonders. Scott has been an accomplished songwriter/musician for years. He has done extensive vocal session work and continues to ride on Rick's coattails.

In 2002, Tom Hanks' production company PLAYTONE, called to say: "we're dropping one of your songs into this little independent film we're producing." Scott and Rick didn't think much more about it until it turn out to be the biggest grossing independent film of all time - MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING.

THAT THING YOU DO! continues to grow in cult status and is still broadcast on VH1's Movies that Rock and regularly on HBO.

The "One-Hit Oneders Revue" is a rare opportunity to hear songs from the film, songs by the original songwriters. They also take you on a journey through one-hit wonders from the 60's, 70's and into the 80's. It's a rock solid band of great musicians.
