Keanu Reeves “couldn’t f***** wait” to get back in the recording studio with Dogstar.
The Matrix actor reunited with bandmates Robert Mailhouse and Bret Domrose in 2023 for their first shows in over 20 years, and they then released a new album, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees.
And despite Keanu having a busy 2025 working on new movies and making his Broadway debut in Waiting for Godot with Bill and Ted co-star Alex Winter, he also found time to pick up his bass again because Dogstar will be releasing another new record, All in Now, in May.
Keanu said in a statement: “We couldn’t f****** wait. Personally, I loved it all. For me, the attitude was like, ‘let’s work hard and let’s GO.’ “
Robert added: “The album really sets up the energy at the heart of this album and the fun that we’ve always had playing together.”
The band have shared the video for the title track for the album, with All in Now set to be the record’s first single, and they’ll be going out on tour in the US to support the release.
They wrote on Instagram: “ALL IN NOW New album. New single. New tour.
“We’re so excited to announce our new album All In Now! Out worldwide on May 29th. Limited edition signed glass clear vinyl available in our Shop.
“Watch the music video of the title track now.
“Pre-sale for the All In Now: North American Tour starts Tuesday, March 10th at 10am local. Sign up for pre-sale access at dogstarofficial.com – or click the link in our Story/Bio (sic)”
Dogstar will play two shows in California to coincide with the album’s release, before heading off on a European tour, then returning for the North American leg in August.
Dogstar released their debut album Our Little Visionary in 1996 and followed up with Happy Ending four years later.
However, the group disbanded around 2002 after Keanu’s acting career hit another stratosphere with his role as Neo in The Matrix.
In 2023, they performed their first official gig in two decades at BottleRocket festival, having reunited the previous year for a private gig “for the incredible people who made our new album possible”.
At the time of the festival set, they wrote on Instagram: “Thank you everyone for the kind comments. We are overjoyed to see such a response. Honestly, didn’t expect this. It makes us 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.”
In the summer of ’23, they also dropped new single Everything Turns Around ahead of their third album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees.
They said at the time: “We are so excited to re-introduce Dogstar with our new single Everything Turns Around.
“It feels like a fun summer song to us. It has an uplifting message and a positive vibe that hopefully makes your day a little bit lighter. “It’s one of our favourite songs to play live and can’t wait to share it on our upcoming tour.”
