The opportunity to make light of KeanuΓÇÖs excellent adventure into the music scene is ample here, but weΓÇÖre going to rise above it, dude. Dogstar is more than a movie starΓÇÖs side projectΓÇôwith Keanu on bass, Bret Domrose with lead vocals and guitar, and drummer Rob Mailhouse, the trio have earned their stripes with frequent gigs and their 1996 debut album Our Little Visionary. After a year of touring the US and Europe to promote that album they released the EP Quattro Formaggio, which we believe loosely translated means four cheeses or cheese quartet (whatever, guys). With influences like the Judybats and the Feelies, Dogstar has firm roots in the alternative scene, and a real desire to be heard. Check out their performance of ΓÇ£CornerstoreΓÇ¥ to see what we mean.
