Let the record show that here in 2026, Dogstar is clearly All In Now.
After a long 20 years of silence as a band, this California-based power trio – guitarist and lead singer Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse, and bassist Keanu Reeves – surprised many and perhaps even themselves when they returned in fine form in 2023 with a new album that found the three joyfully making music again and doing it all Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees. Only two years later – after extensive touring in America and around the world playing everywhere from sweaty rock clubs to giant outdoor festivals – Dogstar is returning with strong new songs that leave no doubt that this little band that could is back for good with a powerful sound that is bigger and better than ever before.
Dogstar is a group of three friends who have slowly yet surely become a band of brothers – a group with multiple talents committed to picking up the pace and locking into life as a working and increasingly beloved rock band who are excited to get back on the road this summer.
