'''that dog.''' was a Los Angeles-based rock band that formed in 1991 and disbanded in 1997. The lineup featured quite the musical pedigree: 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, 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.''' was a Los Angeles-based rock band that formed in 1991 and disbanded in 1997.
