By Mulder, 02 may 2024

On Sunday June 2, 2024, La Cigale in Paris will be the scene of an exceptional musical event: a concert by Dogstar, the American alternative rock band featuring Keanu Reeves on bass. This long-awaited return to the Paris stage is part of their European tour Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, which follows the release of their new self-titled album on October 6, 2023.

Dogstar, comprising guitarist and vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse and renowned actor and bassist Keanu Reeves, was formed in 1991. The band was born of a simple desire among friends to get together in a garage in Southern California to play music and make some noise. Despite breaking up in 2002, the three musicians' passion for music brought them together again in 2023.

Dogstar's official comeback took place in May 2023, at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival. More than 20 years after their last performance together, the trio captured the attention of fans and critics alike with an impressive set, featuring their single Everything Turns Around, released in July 2023. This return to the stage marked the beginning of a new era for the band.

Dogstar's new album, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, released on October 6, 2023, perfectly reflects the band's artistic evolution. Recorded after a period of creative seclusion, the album features 12 tracks that capture the essence of what Dogstar is today. Highlights include Breach, Glimmer and Everything Turns Around, which convey uplifting messages and a positive vibe.

The Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees European tour kicks off on May 30 in Madrid and continues through several major cities, including Paris, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Zurich, Berlin, London, and several Italian cities. The concert at La Cigale promises to be a highlight of the tour, offering French fans the chance to discover the band's new creations live, as well as classic tracks from their previous albums Our Little Visionary (1996) and Happy Ending (2000).

Keanu Reeves, world-famous for his roles in Matrix, John Wick, Speed and Point Break, is also a passionate music fan and accomplished bassist. He has been playing with Dogstar since the early 90s, bringing a unique depth to their sound and stage presence. His dual career as an actor and musician demonstrates a rare artistic versatility appreciated by fans the world over.

The concert at La Cigale will be a memorable evening, not only for Keanu Reeves fans, but for all fans of alternative rock. The venue, renowned for its intimate atmosphere and exceptional acoustics, will provide the perfect setting for an unforgettable Dogstar performance.
