Dogstar is an American alternative rock/post‑grunge trio formed in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, featuring Bret Domrose (vocals, guitar), Keanu Reeves (bass), and Rob Mailhouse (drums). They released Our Little Visionary (1996) and Happy Ending (2000), disbanded in 2002, and reunited in 2023 with Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees.

American alternative rock/post‑grunge band with Keanu Reeves on bass; albums include Our Little Visionary (1996), Happy Ending (2000), and the 2023 reunion album Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees.

Three enthusiastically positive reviews portray Dogstar as a credible post‑grunge/alternative rock trio overshadowed by Keanu Reeves’ fame. Quattro Formaggi [E.P.] is praised for authentic alt‑rock energy. Our Little Visionary offers radio‑ready grunge with a notable Badfinger cover. Happy Ending is lauded for varied, melodic structures and a Carpenters cover. Overall: underrated band, strong songs, unfairly dismissed.
