Every dog has its day. Today is Dogstar day.
Keanu Reeves’ SoCal indie rock act returns for Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, Dogstar’s third studio album and first since 2000’s Happy Ending.
The Hollywood star is back on bass, alongside guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose and drummer Robert Mailhouse for Between the Power Lines, released through the band’s own label Dillon Street Records and distributed through ADA.
Featuring the previously released singles “Everything Turns Around,” “Breach” and “Glimmer,” Somewhere Between the Power Lines represents a day few of us figured would arrived. Indeed, when the trio reunited earlier in the year and performed at BottleRock Napa Valley music festival in May, it marked their first performance as a unit in more than 20 years.
During a brief but bright run in the noughts and early 2000s, Dogstar captured a lot of international interest, much of it due to Reeves’ participation.
Starting with release of their 1996 four-track EP Quattro Formaggi, the trio hit their straps, toured the world, nabbed a spot at Glastonbury Festival, opened for David Bowie, and warmed up for Bon Jovi on a lap of Australia. A date in Japan in 2002 would be their last, before the bandmembers went their separate ways.
Now they’re back, and they’re out on the road in support of the new LP. This week, Dogstar kicked off the second leg of their 35-plus city headline tour, which includes gigs in St. Louis, Columbus, Niagra, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Brooklyn, Boston, Atlanta, Nashville and elsewhere. The first began Aug. 10 and included stops in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Denver before the band headed overseas for a three-date stretch in Japan.
Spread across 12 tracks, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees will be presented by way of a global livestream from the alternative rock act’s concert Tuesday, Oct. 10 at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY.
