For the first time in two-and-a-half decades, Dogstar — the alternative rock band that counts actor Keanu Reeves as its bassist — is on a songs-based Billboard chart.

“All In Now,” the lead single from Dogstar’s upcoming album of the same name, debuts on the April 4-dated Mainstream Rock Airplay chart at No. 36, marking the band’s second appearance on any song ranking and first in more than 25 years.

In 2000, “Cornerstore,” featured on the trio’s sophomore album Happy Ending, spent nine weeks on the since-discontinued Modern AC Airplay chart, peaking at No. 32 that September.

Afterward, Dogstar — which also features vocalist-guitarist Bret Domrose and drummer Robert Mailhouse — broke up in 2002, but reconvened in 2020, eventually releasing the album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees in 2023. The LP reached multiple Billboard charts, paced by a No. 6 peak on Vinyl Albums and a bow of No. 19 on Top Album Sales.

In addition to its presence on mainstream rock radio stations, “All In Now” is also bubbling under the Alternative Airplay chart.

Dogstar was formed in the early 1990s in Los Angeles, at which point Reeves had already become a well-known actor in films such as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and its sequel. Mailhouse also has multiple acting credits of his own; in fact, both he and Reeves appeared in 1994’s Speed, while Dogstar itself was featured in 1999’s Me and Will.

All In Now is due for release on May 29 via the band’s own Dillon Street Records.
