Famous Actor KEANU REEVES And His DOGSTAR Band Will Play EUROPE Next Summer
I had a vague idea of famous matrix actor KEANU REEVES playing
in a rock band. That’s about it. After a bit of research, I found out
that DOGSTAR had a first run between 1994-2002 and a re-start
since 2020. Reeves is the bassist.
The trio have released 3 LPs so far with Somewhere
Between The Lines And Palm Trees from 2023,
as the most recent one.
Next year Dogstar will play a series of gigs in Europe.
I checked several of their singles over the years. Some
of them are top, such as Breach from that 3rd album.
Image Of The Day – Pop Punk Fury THE DARTS
American pop punk fury THE DARTS are one of my favourite live bands of
the past decade. Their sultry, inflammable gigs are an exciting pleasure for
ears and eyes.
They always have eye-catching posters to announce their
shows. Like this one for 4 gigs in Hawaii early next year.
Vampires at work.

JEFF TWEEDY Will Tour Northen America In 2026 To Promote His ‘TWILIGHT OVERRIDE’ Album
I’m sure prolific songsmith JEFF TWEEDY writes songs in
his sleep, as well for his band Wilco as for his solo efforts.
Last September, he released his 5th solo opus named
Twilight Override. A triple-one containing 30 songs.
He’ll take them on the road next year to share them with his fans in Northern America.

SPLIT ENZ – New Zealand Eccentrics Return For First Tour In 18 Years
13 November 2025
Pop eccentrics SPLIT ENZ are regarded as the first New Zealand band
to get famous outside of their own country. Co-founder Tim Finn and
his brother Neil formed Crowded House in 1985, but returned for
several SE reunions.
They had their first run from 1972 to 1984. Afterward multiple temporary
reunions followed: 1986, 1989–1990, 1992–1993, 1999, 2002, 2005–2006,
2008–2009.
In their first years, they made a worldwide impression with their progressive/art rock
sound, flamboyant visual style, and theatrical performances. They have released
9 LPs. Their last one See Ya’ Round came out in 1984.
One of their best-known tracks, below.
They’re back now for some live action in 2026. More dates TBA.
