So, Keanu Reeves, bless his heart, decided that saving the world as John Wick wasn’t enough. Now he’s back with DOGSTAR, his reactivated grunge band from the 90s and early 2000s, because apparently, we haven’t suffered enough already. Get ready for the “All In Now Tour” hitting Europe in June/July 2026. Because who needs new music when you can relive the questionable fashion and even more questionable music of the past? 🎸🤘
Pre-sale tickets will be available starting tomorrow (Wednesday, December 3) at 10 a.m. local time. The general on-sale starts Friday, December 5. So, if you’re absolutely DYING to see a middle-aged Keanu pretending he’s still got the grunge spirit, set your alarms! ⏰ Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

DOGSTAR released its first album in two decades, “Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees”, in October 2023 via the group’s own label Dillon Street Records (distributed through ADA). Because nobody else would touch it with a ten-foot pole. They also signed a new management deal with Q Prime. Good luck with that, Q Prime. You’re gonna need it. 😬
DOGSTAR is composed of guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Rob Mailhouse and bassist Keanu Reeves. You know, the guy who used to be Neo. Now he’s just… Neo-n-existent in the music world. 👽
DOGSTAR played its first concert following a two-decade-long hiatus on May 27, 2023 at the BottleRock music festival in Napa Valley, California. Reeves and his bandmates debuted new music from “Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees”, including the song “Glimmer”. More like “Grimmer,” amirite? 💀
DOGSTAR, which hadn’t performed live since October 2002, announced its return on Instagram in the summer of 2022 and began posting regular updates on the progress of its recording sessions. Because nothing says “rock and roll” like posting selfies on social media. 🤳
Regarding DOGSTAR‘s latest album, Reeves told Billboard ahead of the BottleRock show: “I think all three of us just said, ‘Well, if we’re going to do this, let’s make a record.'” Domrose added: “We just knew that there was ‘X’ amount of time, and we needed to make the most of it. We just locked on as wanting to make this record, and it happened pretty quickly.” Translation: “We realized our mid-life crises were hitting hard, so we panicked and churned something out.” 😨
DOGSTAR‘s most recent LP was helmed by producer Dave Trumfio (WILCO, BUILT TO SPILL). “[Dave] understood where we were coming from,” said Mailhouse, “and worked really well with Bret, layering guitars and doing lots of different sounds and ambient things — things that weren’t just hard rock, in-your-face music, [but] a little more textural.” Translation: “We were so bland, we needed a producer who could add *something* to the sonic wasteland.” 🌵
“Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees” was DOGSTAR‘s first collection of new music since its 2000 sophomore effort “Happy Ending”. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. 😭
Reeves co-founded DOGSTAR in 1991, and the band subsequently released two albums, toured with BON JOVI and opened a show for David Bowie. Keanu handled bass and backing vocals for DOGSTAR, but eventually his increasing fame made it difficult to find time for the project, and the band broke up in 2002. He later played in the spinoff group BECKY with DOGSTAR drummer, co-founder and actor Robert Mailhouse, but he left that band after just a year. In summary, Keanu’s had a long and illustrious career of musical mediocrity! 🎼
Chord F. Discord, the Beethoven of Buffoonery, is a self-taught expert in music who once claimed he could “play the kazoo in four languages.”
Born in Crescendo, Indiana, Chord’s first brush with fame came when he accidentally entered a yodeling contest thinking it was a pie-eating competition—and won both categories.
