Always enjoy finding new bands through you, Kevin...not a fan of the song, and had never heard of That Dog. My attention was immediately drawn to the name, Ana Waronker (spelled in some places as "Anna").
I've only ever known one Waronker, and from my days in '70s radio and eventually retail records, that was former longtime Warner Bros. Records producer and eventual prez, Lenny Waronker. He also became co-chair of DreamWorks Records (he's currently 80).
Anyway, Anna is his daughter, and her mom is Donna Loren, a veteran of '60s beach party movies, and a recording artist in her own right, with Capitol. Anna's brother is session drummer, Joey Waronker, and she's married to former Redd Kross and Melvins bassist, Steven Shane McDonald!
Anna also has her own record company, Five Foot Two Records, that she formed with sister-in-law, the Go-Gos' guitarist/keyboardist Charlotte Caffey!
There's enough here for a couple of future articles, if you're interested, Kevin! I'd even imagine many of these might be open to touching base with on social media for an interview. I'm not invested enough in Anna's music, to be honest, to tackle this, but from afar, I'm loving all the inter-connectedness all of these folks have! Go nuts!😁🎶👍
My god do I love this album.
Right? I had kind of lost sight of it until they played it at Riot Fest.
Their newest one is also incredible. Such a great band! Thanks for the exceptional reminder.
Listening to it as I type this! So far, so good.
It’s got that nice summer vibe.

I love it too, and that doesn't even count all the ties the Haden sisters bring to the table! Might be an entire article all its own!
I like it, thx for the discovery!
Adding this to the library for later listening. 👍🏻
Yes! Another great find
That's why I'm here! :)
Hey thanks for this! I loved this track. Pulls me right back to the early 00’s and my rocker teen days 😂.
I’m glad I was able to take you back there for a bit! 😀
