Keanu Reeves took an almost laid-back approach with his love for music, wanting to enjoy performing for the sake of it and nothing else. However, his rock band Dogstar opened for David Bowie's Los Angeles show and even toured the world with Bon Jovi, per GQ. The ensemble was formed when Reeves and Robert Mailhouse met at a supermarket and talked hockey before discovering their shared love of music. The band grew over time to include Bret Domrose and Gregg Miller.
The band's original name wasn't Dogstar, however; it actually started off with the name Small Fecal Matter before becoming BFS, which either denoted Big F***ing S*** or Big F***ing Sound, according to Far Out. Despite the actor's desire to keep his musical tendencies inconspicuous, Dogstar reached modest fame with their two albums, "Our Little Visionary" (1996) and "Happy Ending" (2000).
Ahead of his "Our Little Visionary" album launch, Reeves told EW that the band's songs are somewhat misleading. "They have a pop aspect to them, but the lyrics are not poppy." The band played their last U.S. show in 2001 and bid adieu to their fans with their performance at Ebisu Garden Hall in Tokyo in 2002, per GQ.
