One Hit Wonder Wednesday - That Dog

It's a stretch, really, to even call them a one hit wonder. Despite their critical acclaim amongst music connoisseurs and mag writers, That Dog never really got much mainstream radio play, though "Never Say Never" did climb to #27 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart. But, I'm going to press on and post them as a One Hit Wonder. Why? Because I loved, loved, loved them...and I'm still sad about their demise. And, maybe a few of you will remember their brief flirtation with your local radio station of choice.



For those of you not in the know, That Dog formed in L.A. in 1991 and called it quits in 1997 (way to early for their rabid fans...get it...dogs, rabid). The females that made up 75% of the band came from pretty illustrious musical families. Anna Waronker's father, Lenny, is a music industry mogul and her brother, Joey, sometimes drums for R.E.M. and Beck. The Haden sisters, Petra and Rachel, are the daughters of free jazz bassist Charlie Haden.
