That Dog (styled as that dog.) is a Los Angeles-based alternative rock band that formed in 1992 and dissolved in 1997, reuniting in 2011. The band originally consisted of Anna Waronker on lead vocals and guitar, Rachel Haden on bass guitar and vocals, her sister Petra Haden on violin and vocals, and Tony Maxwell on drums. Lead vocalist Anna Waronker is the daughter of record industry mogul Lenny Waronker and singer Donna Loren, and the sister of drummer Joey Waronker of Beck, R.E.M. and Atoms for Peace. She is married to Steve McDonald of Redd Kross. Petra and Rachel Haden are daughters of jazz bassist Charlie Haden.
Links to Peel[]
Peel was first aware of the band in 1993 when he played a tracks from their debut single. The track 'Jump' was later added to his Peel Out In The States programme broadcast in that year. He would later invite the band to do a session at the end of the year, where they performed four tracks. Further material from the group was played by Peel, but after the band entered the 1994 Festive Fifty, he had lost interest in them and moved on to other artists.
