Dogstar Band: A Rock N’ Roll Journey with Keanu Reeves
Formed in 1991, Dogstar Band has carved out a unique space in the rock music world. The band consists of Keanu Reeves on bass, Bret Domrose on lead vocals and guitar, and Rob Mailhouse on drums.
Their blend of gritty rock and heartfelt lyrics has garnered a dedicated following over the years. With their latest album, “Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees,” Dogstar showcases their evolved sound, featuring tracks like “Everything Turns Around” and “Breach” that highlight their musical growth and commitment to authentic rock music.
The genesis of Dogstar was a chance encounter between Robert Mailhouse and Keanu Reeves in a supermarket in 1991. Mailhouse was wearing a Detroit Red Wings hockey sweater, and Reeves (an avid hockey fan and a keen player of the sport) asked if Mailhouse needed a goalie. As the two men formed a friendship, they began jamming together, and were joined by Gregg Miller as the original lead guitarist and singer in 1992. Reeves said that one thing led to another in the band’s history:
You know, we started in a garage, and then you end up starting to write songs, and then you’re like “Let’s go out and play them!”, and then you’re like “Let’s go on tour!”, and then…you’re playing
— Keanu Reeves in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.The band originally called themselves SmallFecalMatter, and then BFS (Big Fucking Shit, or Big Fucking Sound), before settling on Dogstar, after Mailhouse found the name in the book Sexus, written by HenryMiller.
