Description
Dogstar guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse and bassist Keanu Reeves epitomize the quintessential Southern California storytelling rock band theyve always been in their hearts, making deeply resonant music that literally comes from Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees. Nearly a quarter century after what seemed to be their final album, Happy Ending (released in 2000), Dogstar has reformed and taken a great creative leap forward, establishing an entirely new path.
Our earlier records were almost in the wrong decade, says Robert Mailhouse. Looking back, its almost like we started a Seventies band that somehow got lost in the Nineties. When everybody else was shouting, we were trying to tell stories because in Bret, weve always had a singer-songwriter in the Jackson Browne tradition. But people kept saying `grunge because of the times we were in or maybe because of the clothes we were wearing.
This music just sounds like us, says Bret Domrose with a smile. One of the things I love about this album is the variety of feel, says Keanu Reeves. Every song is not the same you can hear our diverse influences and a lot of different tones here. And I feel like finally on this album, weve managed to take all those influences and our passion for playing together and once and for all turned it all into Dogstar.
