along with a couple of songs recorded live for radio. The Cavedogs afterwards embarked on producing "Soul Martini" with the producer Michael Beinhorn. This recording was plagued by friction between Stevens, Beinhorn, Rivers and Spahr, mostly over their contrasting sensibilities: Stevens was more pop-influenced than the harder Spahr and Rivers. Their first released single was the Rivers-penned "Boy In A Plastic Bubble," which fared well, with some MTV rotation. During this time The Cavedogs toured with Dramarama and The Replacements. As The Cavedogs were about to release "Love Grenade" as the second single from "Soul Martini", Capitol dropped the band, which led to their disintegration. The band members went on to record in other bands and as solo artists after the breakup. Post-breakup projects After the Cavedogs breakup, Brian Stevens toured with Aimee Mann and recorded "Prettier Than You" with producer Jon Lupfer, Jon Brion, Dave Gregory of XTC, Merrie Amsterburg and Pete Linton of The Natives, Milt Sutton, Roberto Toledo, Clayton Scoble of The Aimee Mann Band, and Clarinetist Mark Lowenstein. After performing locally for a couple of years, Brian Stevens left the music business but he is still compiling demos. Todd Spahr formed "Meringue" with Mark Rivers, which released the single "Drunk and Quartered". Spahr then went on to form the Gravy with Glenn Foster Brown of Evol Twin, Mike Jordan of the Ken Chambers Band, and a revolving cast of drummers. The Gravy released an LP, "Hangman's Pop", recorded and produced by Glenn Foster Brown, and an EP titled "The Hollywood EP". Recently, Spahr has been involved in a Swedish pop band/Web show, "Spahrhusen". Rivers formed Poundcake with Clayton Scoble and Josh Lattanzi after the dissolution of Meringue, and they released one album, "Aloha Via Satellite", before Rivers left the scene. From 2009 to 2015, Mark Rivers appeared in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation as Rivers, the drummer for Andy Dwyer's fictional band, Mouse Rat. Since 2017, he has worked on the Netflix series Big Mouth, writing the original songs heard during many episodes. The Cavedogs reunited for performances in 2001, 2002, 2010, and most recently in the fall of 2014 as part of the 50 Years of Boston Rock Festival, celebrated by Pipeline, a radio show on WMBR 88.1 FM.
