1994年換上第二代主唱和吉他手Bret Domrose，Dogstar開始做巡迴演出，曾替David Bowie和Bon Jovi世界巡演當開場嘉賓。仍舊維持三人隊形的Dogstar，終於在1996年推出首張專輯《Our Little Visionary》，不過主要以日本市場為發行，少數流到國際領域，當時台灣也有引進。就在第二張專輯《Happy Ending》發行後的2002年宣告解散。
睽違多時的第三張專輯《Somewhere Between The Power Lines And Palm Trees》，除了Keanu Reeves之外，Robert Mailhouse和Bret Domrose回歸。這一次，Dogstar呈現出音樂多樣性，各團員企圖讓每首歌聽起來都不一樣，可以在這裡聽到影響他們的早期傳統風格，綻放三人一起演奏的熱情，可以開心並大聲跟樂迷說我們回來了，而且以國際市場發行為主！
Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees is Dogstar s third studio album. Features "Everything Turns Around."
Dogstar – guitarist / vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse and bassist Keanu Reeves – epitomize the quintessential Southern California storytelling rock band they have always been in their hearts, making deeply resonant music that literally comes from Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees. Nearly a quarter century after what seemed to be their final album, Happy Ending (released in 2000), Dogstar has reformed and taken a great creative leap forward, establishing an entirely new path.
“Our earlier records were almost in the wrong decade,” says Robert Mailhouse. “Looking back, it is almost like we started a Seventies band that somehow got lost in the Nineties. When everybody else was shouting, we were trying to tell stories because in Bret, we have always had a singer-songwriter in the Jackson Browne tradition. But people kept saying `grunge because of the times we were in – or maybe because of the clothes we were wearing.” “This music just sounds like us,” says Bret Domrose with a smile. “One of the things I love about this album is the variety of feel,” says Keanu Reeves. “Every song is not the same – you can hear our diverse influences and a lot of different tones here. And I feel like finally on this album, we have managed to take all those influences and our passion for playing together and once and for all turned it all into Dogstar.”
