The band, consisting of Bret Domrose on guitar and vocals and Robert Mailhouse on drums, was active from 1991 to 2002 and gained significant attention when Reeves’ acting career took off in 1999 with the release of The Matrix. In July of last year, the band announced their comeback on social media, using it to document the process of recording their first album since their second album, Happy Ending, was released in 2000.

The group has been increasingly active in recent weeks, and this was highlighted by a behind-the-scenes photo from a recent photo shoot, which hinted at forthcoming “exciting news.”

Additionally, the Dogstar has been rehearsing and preparing for the summer, suggesting they have live shows planned. According to a statement from the band, they will release new music this summer, followed by gigs, and they are organizing everything with the help of a great team.

They also plan to create a music video to support their first song. Keanu Reeves, a fan of playing the bass guitar, used what appears to be a vintage Fender P-Bass for a Dogstar recording session and has been seen playing custom instruments during rehearsals. He is one of many Hollywood actors who have dabbled in playing bass on occasion.

Reeves has become a Hollywood icon known for his versatile acting skills and charismatic on-screen presence. He has also ventured into producing, with his company, Company Films, producing several successful films. In addition to acting and producing.

Throughout his career, Reeves has been recognized for his contributions to the entertainment industry with numerous awards and accolades. He gained a reputation for his philanthropic work, supporting various charities and causes.
