Dogstar

Keanu Reeves Alternative Rock Band

Dogstar was an alternative rock band that gained attention in the mid-1990s to early 2000s, not only for their music but also because one of its members was actor Keanu Reeves, who played bass guitar. The band was formed in 1991 and included Bret Domrose as the vocalist and guitarist, Robert Mailhouse on drums, and Reeves. Dogstar initially started as a grunge band but later shifted to a more general alternative rock sound. They released their debut album "Our Little Visionary" in 1996 and followed it with "Happy Ending" in 2000. The band performed at various venues, ranging from small clubs to large music festivals like Glastonbury. Despite never achieving mainstream success, Dogstar developed a dedicated fan base and continued to perform until disbanding in the early 2000s. Throughout their career, they managed to balance the fame of their celebrity bassist with their musical aspirations, maintaining a focus on their collective artistic output rather than individual celebrity.
