Keanu Reeves' grunge band Dogstar tease first new music in 20 years
Keanu Reeves is reforming his grunge band Dogstar after a 21 year hiatus.
The John Wick and Matrix star played bass guitar in the group from their inception in 1991 until 2002.
Now, two decades later, Reeves is getting the band back together. Dogstar launched an Instagram account last summer with a retro photo and a concise announcement: “We’re back.” More recently, the group posted a snap from a rooftop photo shoot, stating “exciting news coming soon.”
They followed up the post by commenting: "Thank you everyone for the kind comments. We are overjoyed to see such a response! Honestly, didn’t expect this. It makes use want to play out even more. We will be rolling out some new music this summer, followed by some gigs. As soon as it’s all figured out we will let everyone know immediately.
"So much to do, but rest assured, we are on it and have assembled a fantastic team that are helping us. We are also going to make a music video to support our first tune. That’s all I can say now. Can’t wait to share our new music with everyone. It’s the most satisfying and meaningful batch of songs we’ve ever done. Thanks again for being so patient with us. We truly have the best, most loyal fans!"
It’s been reported that new music, as well as a new music video, will be released by the band this summer.
