Rockrolling from Los Angeles, CA, One High Five is the musical powerhouse regarded as 'a wall of sound with a glory hole in it' and 'the way rock and roll should be' that blends rock, punk, surf, and indie pop into an explosion of raw power and sonic adventures.

Led by the eccentric vocals of creator and singer/songwriter David Sauer, One High Five is backed by guitarist/vocalist Mark Sakamoto and drummer Tomi Choi. The combination of their retro-rock stylings evokes comparisons of classic Weezer, Green Day, They Might Be Giants and the Presidents of the United States of America, with a live review from OC Music Magazine]calling One High Five "one part pop/punk, one part ska, half part bluegrass, and all parts excellent."

One High Five is a rock and roll monster invading Hollywood, CA - targeting everyone with ears! The debut album "Here, Hear!," is a roaring announcement of raw power and sonic adventures.

One High Five features David Sauer (lead vocals/guitar) Madison René Knapp (vocals/percussion) Luke Icenhower (bass), Ryan Keith (keyboards) Tommy Miller (lead guitar) and Garrett Hanson (drums). The music blends rock, punk, surf and folk, taking influence from the Beach Boys, Green Day, Of Montreal, NOFX and the Strokes. It's a fun, fresh and energetic sound "like the revival of the B-52's gone wild!" (GLAM Magazine, Sept. 2009)

'Here, Hear!' was written by David Sauer and produced by Jim Roach. A full band was formed in the summer of 2009 to play a KROQ Locals Only sponsored show at the Viper Room on the famous Sunset Strip. One High Five bombarded the stage with pure energy, bright colors and a ton of balloons. Chelsea Schwartz, who booked the band at the Viper Room, tweeted during the show crying "There's a party on the stage and its called 'One High Five!'"

'Here, Hear!' boasts six songs and features the single "Everybody Pull the Trigger," which is currently on rotation at KROQ Locals Only and OcRockRadio. In addition, One High Five was interviewed and performed live for OcRockRadio. They have created their own music video, and have songs featured in independent films and commercials.

The band has played at the Viper Room, Whiskey a Go-Go, Cabana Club, Cat Club, DiPiazza's, Que Sera and Crane's Hollywood Tavern. Also, One High Five was given a four month residency at the Rooftop Gallery during the Los Angeles Art Walk and has traveled through Los Angeles performing with Theatre Unleashed.
