At Home With Dogstar...Keanu Reeves, Bret Domrose & Rob Mailhouse on New Music & Brotherhood

In this intimate home hang, I welcome Dogstar — Keanu Reeves, Bret Domrose, and Rob Mailhouse — as they step into a powerful new chapter with their album "All In Now." From their early days to their reunion and now this next evolution, Dogstar has always been about connection, creativity, and the kind of chemistry you can’t fake. And with this new record, you can feel it — raw, live, and fully alive. Dogstar opens up about: ⚡️ The meaning behind *All In Now* — and what it represents for them now ⚡️ Reuniting as a band and rediscovering their sound ⚡️ Working with legendary producer Nick Launay and embracing a live, raw recording style ⚡️ Recording at the iconic EastWest Studios — and feeling the history in the room ⚡️ Letting go of perfection and leaning into instinct and energy ⚡️ Preparing for a massive year of touring — physically and mentally ⚡️ Musical influences from U2, The Cure, Peter Hook, and beyond ⚡️ The return of real, human rock music in a filtered, AI-driven world ⚡️ Their diehard global fanbase — and what that connection means to them ⚡️ What keeps them together after all these years ⚡️ Keanu on music vs. acting — and what each gives him ⚡️ What being in a band teaches you about yourself and each other Plus: cookies, gear talk, studio stories, live music philosophy, and a conversation that feels like sitting in the room with them. This is Dogstar — grounded, present, and fully all in.
