Dogstar
Dogstar is an American alternative rock group formed in the 1990s. Band members consist of guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, bassist Keanu Reeves, and drummer Rob Mailhouse.
They have opened for Bon Jovi, David Bowie, and Weezer, and have performed all over the world. They refer to their music as “pop-aggressive”, and their third album is titled Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees.
After a long hiatus, Dogstar reunited and returned with new music that blends introspective lyrics, driving guitars, and a matured edge that reflects decades of growth. With heartfelt songwriting and an authentic stage presence, Dogstar continues to connect with audiences old and new, proving their chemistry and passion for music are stronger than ever.
The Backfires
The Backfires is a rock band from both sides of the Atlantic, consisting of members Alex Gomez (frontman), Harry Ruprecht (lead guitarist), and Matt Walter (lead bassist). They formed under the name “Qualia Noir” in 2018 and rebranded to The Backfires in 2020. The band has faced challenges such as attaining artist visas and a global pandemic, but they have persevered and are now living together in New York City, pursuing their dreams of making it as a rock band. They have released their debut single “Joyride” and their debut album “This Is Not An Exit,” showcasing their growth and evolution as musicians.
