Dog's Eye View was an American rock band formed in 1994. The band is best known for "Everything Falls Apart", its 1995 hit single.
History
[edit]The band was formed in 1994 by singer-songwriter Peter Stuart.[1] Stuart founded the band after being discovered by Adam Duritz, the lead vocalist of Counting Crows.[1] The band signed with Sony Records and released the album Happy Nowhere in 1995. The album peaked at No. 77 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts.[2] In 1996, they had major success on radio and VH1 with the single "Everything Falls Apart", which hit No. 8 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts[3] and No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] Stuart has said that he wrote the single in just fifteen minutes aboard an airplane while suffering the effects of a hangover.[5]
Dog's Eye View performed on Sweet Relief II: Gravity of the Situation, a 1996 tribute album dedicated to Vic Chesnutt.[6] Other artists on the album included The Smashing Pumpkins and R.E.M.[6]
The band's second album, Daisy, was released by Sony in 1997.[7]
In 2000, Stuart announced that he had left Columbia Records and was taking a hiatus from the band to pursue solo work.[8] He released a solo album, Propeller, on Vanguard Records in 2002.[9]
After an extended hiatus, Dog's Eye View released a third album (also on Vanguard); the album was entitled Tomorrow Always Comes.[10] It featured backing vocals by singers Jason Mraz and Kelly Moneymaker, as well as an appearance from Paul Doucette of Matchbox Twenty.[11]
