This unchange lineup featured quite the musical pedigree: lyricist Anna Waronker (daughter of producer and one-time Warner Bros. Records head Lenny Waranker) on lead vocals and guitar, [[Rachel Haden]] on bass guitar and vocals, 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 many layered vocal harmonies. | ||
that dog. released a double 7" on Magnatone Records later that year, with a self-titled debut released the next year on 4AD. The album was licensed to Geffen, who rleased it on their bugeoning DGC imprint in 1994. After releasing the concept album ''[[Totally Crushed Out]]'' in 1995, the band toured that summer with Weezer and [[Teenage Fanclub]], in what was obviously a [[DGC]]-backed tour. Waranker next began work on a solo project, which evolved into a third that dog. album, 1997's ''[[Retreat From the Sun]]''. The record spawned the minor hit "Never Say Never", and the group played with [[Black Market Flowers]] and weezer at the tribute concert for their friends [[Mykel and Carli Allan]] in Hollywood on August 15th, 1997. The group disbanded soon after. | |||

Anna Waronker has continued a solo career after the dissolution of that dog. Most recently, she has collaborated with original Go-Go's member Charlotte Cafferty on a rock opera based on the life of porn star Linda Lovelace. It plays in Los Angeles through February of 2009. | |||
Having helped [[Matt Sharp]] record the debut album ''[[Return of the Rentals]]'', Petra Haden joined [[The Rentals]] to tour behind the release. | |||
Rachel Haden has contributed vocals to recordings by weezer ("I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams]]") and [[Jimmy Eat World]] (several tracks from ''[[Bleed American]]''). She is currently a full-time member of [[The Rentals]]. | |||
Tony Maxwell made a cameo appearance as a dancer in the "[[Buddy Holly]]" video. | |||
