According to consequence.net, Keanu Reeves’s band Dogstar performed their live comeback concert this weekend at BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley, California.
The band played music from their two previous studio albums, 1996’s Our Little Visionary and 2000’s Happy Ending, along with new songs from their upcoming album.
Dogstar consists of bassist Reeves, drummer Robert Mailhouse and singer-guitarist Brett Domrose. The band released two albums and an EP from 1996 to 2002 before breaking up. Earlier this month Dogstar teased a comeback by announcing that both new music and live shows were on the way.
During an interview with Billboard Reeves discussed how Dogstar reunited.
“I missed playing together, I missed writing together, I missed doing shows together. It’s something I’ve always missed. We came to a spot where we weren’t playing anymore, and I missed it … Once we started to play, and it felt good, and really positive and creative, that’s when it was like, ‘Okay, let’s make this happen.”
The musician adds: “We came to a spot where we weren’t playing anymore, and I missed it … Once we started to play, and it felt good, and really positive and creative, that’s when it was like.”
Although Dogstar does have a grunge sound, Reeves has admitted that his band is dream-pop outfit Alvvays. The actor last starred in John Wick Chapter 4 and will next appear in a dark comedy written and directed by Jonah Hill.
