Dogstar, the rekindled rock trio featuring actor-bassist Keanu Reeves, have revealed details on their first album in over over 20 years, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, along with an accompanying 2023 tour and the project’s first single, “Everything Turns Around.”
The 12-track LP marks the band’s first full-length since 2000’s Happy Ending, and solidifies the recent reunion between Reeves, guitarist-vocalist Bret Domrose, and drummer Rob Mailhouse that kicked off in May with a performance at Napa Valley’s BottleRock Festival. The appearance hosted the live debuts of nearly every song from the new collection, and the group affirmed in a statement that the concert experience has been a major driving force for them, saying, “When creating this record, we were so excited about the idea of playing it live.”
Fittingly, the album will be preceded by the “Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees Tour,” which spans over 25 dates across North America and Japan from late summer to the end of 2023. The trek launches in Hermosa Beach, California and hits Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, and more as well as three shows in Japan in September. They wrap at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on December 20th.
Tickets are available to purchase here.
Meanwhile, the band provided their first new offering in over two decades with their self-described “fun, summer” single, “Everything Turns Around.” They shared, “It has an uplifting message and a positive vibe that hopefully makes your day a little bit lighter. It’s one of our favorite songs to play live and can’t wait to share it on our upcoming tour.” Watch a sampling of their upcoming on-stage heroics in the “Everything Turns Around” music video below.
Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees arrives on October 6th via Dogstar’s own label, Dillon Street Records, with distribution by ADA. Pre-orders are ongoing.
To coincide with today’s announcement, Dogstar spoke to Kyle Meredith With… about the impetus for their reunion and making a new album.
