The Oneders Reunited For One Night And Played "That Thing You Do"
Featured on Barstool
Yahoo - Last night at The Goddamn Comedy Jam — an underground comedy event at West Hollywood’s Roxy Theatre, in which stand-up comedians do a solo set and then perform a cover of their favorite song with a live backing band — That Thing You Do! stars Johnathon Schaech, Tom Everett Scott, and Ethan Embry reunited as The Wonders to deliver a rocking rendition of “That Thing You Do.” As you can see from the clip above and photos below (including a shot of the trio backstage tweeted by Embry (h/t Uproxx), neither Steve Zahn, who played the fourth member of The Wonders, nor Hanks were in attendance.
Shout out to the Oneders, one of my favorite bands of all time. Up there with Drive Shaft, Charlie’s band from LOST, they are one of the best fictional bands of all time. “That Thing You Do” isn’t just a good movie song, it’s an all time classic song in general. And then last night, the Oneders reformed to sing their hit. Lenny was still missing, probably riddled with gambling debt/possibly dead, but Guy, Jimmy, and TB Player were all there, jamming out.
Someone get Tom Hanks on the line, because after last night I don’t think anyone would be upset if they went back on tour. If not, at least Cap’n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.
