-'''Recording History''' is the name of an extensive chronological overview of demo and studio recordings made by [[Weezer]] or by individual band members from the late 80s to 2005. It was compiled by [[Karl Koch]] and originally introduced in [[2000]] on weezer.net (the official website's predecessor), where it was titled ''Weezer and it's "cousins": a recording history''. It was later part of the info section on [[weezer.com]] until 2014. Over the years it had been updated and expanded. The last update was made in [[2011]] after the release of the deluxe edition reissue of ''[[Pinkerton]]'' and the (re)discovery of the song "[[Tragic Girl]]".<br>
+'''that dog.''' is a Los Angeles-based rock band that originally formed in 1991, disbanded in 1997, and reunited in in [[2011]] and released their [[Old LP|fourth album]] in late 2019.
-In 2016 the Recording History was added to [[Weezerpedia]] and there are plans by Karl to update, correct, and possibly re-structure it.

+The lineup of that dog. (the lower case letters and period always inclusive) consisted of lyricist [[Anna Waronker]] (daughter of producer and one-time Warner Bros. Records head Lenny Waronker) on lead vocals and guitar, [[Rachel Haden]] on bass guitar and vocals, and her sister [[Petra Haden]] on violin and vocals (both a part of triplet sisters born to jazz great Charlie Haden).  Friends since high school, the ladies were joined by drummer [[Tony Maxwell]] in 1992.  Their punky power-pop songs were full of hooks and drenched with many layered vocal harmonies.

+In June of 2011, that dog. announced via their new Facebook page that they would be reuniting for a pair of August shows at the legendary Los Angeles club the Troubadour.  Unsure of what to expect, the band was pleasantly surprised that the two shows sold out, and were taken aback by the warm response they received. The band continued performing and began work on their fourth album in 2015, hoping for a release by the end of the year. As of late 2016, work on a reunion album was still in progress, and a crowdfunding campaign to aid in some of the more expensive aspects of recording (such as orhestral arrangements) was put forward. The band performed the album ''Retreat From The Sun'' in its entirety at a show in Los Angeles on [[April 8]]th, [[2017]], to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary.
+On [[August 21]], [[2019]], the band announced the release of their fourth album, titled ''[[Old LP]]''. The album was released on [[October 4]], [[2019]].
