Dogstar

Most actors trying their hand in the musical realm attempt (and usually fail) to be singers. That logically tracks since it’s the star role in the band, but there’s something to be said about the humility of someone who’s a legit superstar and knows they need to be more of a character actor in the musical realm. That’s the case with the bassist for the alternative rock group Dogstar — a guy you might recognize from the big screen named Keanu Reeves. He and his pals Bret Domrose (guitar/vocals) and Robert Mailhouse (drums) started the group back in the early ’90s, but it’s hard to keep momentum with a movie star schedule. After over 20 years, the band got back together in 2023 and put out its third LP, Something Between the Power Lines and the Palm Trees. It should be said that Dogstar is actually a good rock band, so if you go to the show, please enjoy the music and don’t just yell Bill & Ted and The Matrix lines at the bass player.
