Dogstar reunited back in May and played their first gig in two decades at BottleRock festival.

At the show, the band debuted new music alongside songs from ‘Our Little Visionary’ and ‘Happy Ending’, with Reeves telling Billboard of the band: “It’s a space that I love, and a space that I tried to protect.”

Reeves also shared that one of his favorite bands at the moment are Alvvays. Speaking to NME, the John Wick: Chapter 4 actor opened up about his fondness for the indie group, but admitted he’s still yet to buy their latest album, ‘Blue Rev’, on LP.

“I don’t have their new record. I bought it digitally, but I don’t have it on vinyl,” said Reeves. Explaining why they’re currently one of his favourite groups, the actor said: “I like me a good pop song and I like me a kind of inventiveness in it. And I think the lead singer [Molly Rankin], she’s great…And I love the textures in it. I mean, I love bass guitar and drums and I like their energy.
