Dogstar is a rock band formed in 1991 and disbanded in 2002

Dogstar was an alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1991. The band gained attention due to its bassist, Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves. Alongside Reeves, the band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Bret Domrose and drummer Robert Mailhouse. They sought recognition for their music rather than relying solely on Reeves' celebrity status.

Drawing influence from bands like R.E.M., U2, and The Pixies, Dogstar blended alternative rock, post-grunge, and some alternative metal elements into their sound. In 1996, they released their debut album, Our Little Visionary, which received mixed reviews from critics. The album featured tracks like Rain, Superstar, and Bleeding Soul.

The band's second album, Happy Ending, was released in 1999. It showcased some growth and experimentation in their music, delving into more refined songwriting and musicianship. Notable tracks from this album included Cornerstore, Enemy, and And I Pray.

Dogstar's final album, Quattro Formaggi, was released in 2000, which saw the band taking more risks and incorporating diverse styles, including elements of funk and blues. Although not as commercially successful as their previous works, Quattro Formaggi received positive reviews from some critics.

Throughout their career, the band toured extensively, including international performances. However, due to Keanu Reeves' acting commitments, the band faced limitations in their ability to tour consistently. Eventually, after several years of activity, Dogstar disbanded in 2002 after their last performance.

Despite not achieving massive mainstream success, the band remains an interesting example of an actor successfully pursuing a passion for music alongside their acting career.
