Get Ready For A Keanu Reeves Sighting In The Queen City This Year
Back in the ’90s, when Keanu Reeves wasn’t busy becoming one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, he was rocking out with his band Dogstar. The actor/bass guitarist has reunited with his band mates Rob Mailhouse (drummer) and Bret Domrose (guitarist/lead singer) for a new album and tour, which will bring them to Charlotte later this year.
It all started when Keanu Reeves met Robert Mailhouse, also an actor, in a grocery store. They bonded over hockey, then music. Gregg Miller joined Dogstar as their original lead guitarist and singer in 1992. The band’s current iteration came together in 1994 when Miller left and was replaced by Bret Domrose. A year later, Dogstar was playing venues all over the world. Along the way, they even opened for David Bowie and Bon Jovi.
Dogstar put out two albums back in the day: Our Little Visionary (1996) and Happy Ending (2000). Their new release is called Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees and will be available October 6th. The first single, “Everything Turns Around,” is out now. Check out the video below.
According to CLTure, Dogstar recently played a couple of shows in California, their first since 2002. The alt-rock trio is now set to hit the road for their 25-date Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees Tour beginning in August. Dogstar will play The Underground in Charlotte on Monday, December 18th. Tickets go sale Friday, July 21st at 10:00 a.m. through Live Nation.
