Dogstar, the alt-rock band featuring actor Keanu Reeves on bass, made a triumphant return to television with a powerful performance of their hit single “Blonde” on The Tonight Show. The band, flanked by festive holiday lights, delivered an anthemic rendition of the song, showcasing their musical talent and Reeves’ undeniable charisma.
“Blonde” appears on Dogstar’s latest album, “Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees,” which was released in October 2023. The album marks the band’s third studio effort, following their 1996 EP and previous albums “Our Little Visionary Zoo” (1996) and “Happy Ending” (2000).

The band’s story began in 1991 when drummer Robert Mailhouse, known for his roles on Day of Our Lives and Seinfeld, met Reeves in a supermarket. Their serendipitous encounter sparked a musical connection, and soon after, guitarist and singer Bret Domrose joined the fold. With Reeves’ already established fame from films like “River’s Edge,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” and “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” Dogstar quickly gained attention and released their debut EP in 1996.
Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Dogstar enjoyed moderate success, releasing two albums and appearing in movies like “Me and Will” and “Ellie Parker.” However, the band eventually went on hiatus in the mid-2000s.
