Dogstar

From the venue:

Here in 2023, Dogstar — guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse and bassist Keanu Reeves — epitomize the quintessential Southern California storytelling rock band they’ve always been in their hearts, making deeply resonant music that literally comes from Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees. Yet had you Googled this long-on-hiatus, now happily-reunited trio anytime during the past decade, you almost certainly would have found Dogstar being described as a nineties “grunge band.” Should you have dared to push your dogged Dogstar research any further, you likely would have come across vague yet slightly barbed references to the group being some sort of “vanity project.”
