Dogstar’s story with Keanu Reeves is one of those rare journeys where passion mattered more than fame, beginning in the early 1990s when Keanu, along with Robert Mailhouse and later Bret Domrose, started jamming together for fun and slowly turned their friendship into a band. What made their beginning so memorable was the simplicity — three men in love with music, rehearsing in garages, experimenting with sounds, and daring to step on stage not as Hollywood stars but as musicians with raw energy. The band’s rise brought unforgettable moments, like opening for Bon Jovi in 1995, where Keanu stood humbly with his bass guitar, not demanding the spotlight but blending into the rhythm, proving that his love for music was pure and not a publicity stunt. Their songs carried a certain honesty that resonated with fans, and seeing Keanu live on stage smiling, head down, lost in the strings, became one of the most beautiful images for anyone who admired his spirit. After years of silence, the reunion in 2023 with their album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees was another defining moment, almost like a second life for Dogstar, showing that time and distance could never erase genuine passion. The best moments of Dogstar are not just the big stages or albums, but the way Keanu’s grounded soul shines through in music — a man known for his legendary film roles still finding joy in being part of a small band, proving that true artistry is about heart, humility, and the courage to keep chasing what you love…
