Dogstar The three members of Dogstar would prefer that you don’t pay any undue attention to their bass player, a rather well-known actor. So suffice it to say that the trio’s excellent adventure began around 1990, when singer/guitarist Brett Domrose (ex-member of SF punk act the Nuns) and drummer Rob Mailhouse (ex-soap-opera star) got together with Mystery Member #3 (ex-Canadian). The matrix of Dogstar’s musical career was its debut, the enhanced EP Quattro Formaggi, which earned the trio a contract with Zoo Records. In 1996, the label released the Japan-only album Our Little Visionary. Still, the trio’s grunge-pop sound remained less compelling than the bass player’s celebrity, and when Zoo dissolved, other record companies didn’t exactly rush to pick up Dogstar’s contract. For a while, the trio was living in its own private Idaho, until a headlining American tour in 1999 and an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival the same year altered some music execs’ perceptions. Quick as a chain reaction, Dogstar signed to Ultimatum Records, which issued its American full-length debut, Happy Ending, in July, 2000. The record was produced by Michael Vail Blum (Julian Lennon, Suicidal Tendencies) and Richie Zito (Cheap Trick, Eddie Money) and includes a cover of the Carpenters’ poignant 1971 hit “Superstar.” For this superstar (whose initials are K.R., by the way) and his bandmates, the road to respect may be an uphill path, but they wouldn’t call it a bogus journey. |

| You’ve seen Keanu Reeves’ movies, now listen to his bass -- but you’ll have more fun if you turn off the stereo and rent a copy of Point Break. |
