LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) -- Actor Keanu Reeves fans know that he has often moonlighted as a rock star with bands like Dogstar and Becky.But, at a press conference for "Constantine," the actor says his band days are pretty much over.
"I played with them for about a year," Reeves says about the band called Becky. "But they wanted to get some record deals and go on tour and I can't do that, so I bowed out."
Reeves, who used to sing and play bass guitar for the much-maligned Dogstar, says that band isn't touring anymore. When the press corps said, "ahh" in response, he sarcastically said, "Right, thanks."
Reeves says he didn't get to play on the set of "Constantine" with singer and Bush guitarist Gavin Rossdale (who plays his nemesis in the film noir supernatural thriller). "He was working on his album then that I believe that he's almost finished," Reeves says. "We spoke a little bit about that."
"Constantine" opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, Feb. 18.
This depresses me a little bit. I just can't imagine never having the chance again to watch him rock that bass.
it wahs | from inside the mind of krix at January 31, 2005 01:19 PM ."Once a bass player, always a bass player" is what I always say. I predict he'll play again...someday ;-)

Posted by: Zen on January 31, 2005 06:50 PMIt is a little sad but I can see that it would be impossible to maintain a band schedual with his preferance for acting. Beckyband never really got a hold on me as I am on the East coast & there was no CD.
Heck I'll always enjoy my Dogstar collection (they WERE getting a little too pop oriented to suit me however)
I would like to hear more from Brett and its still Rob's drum pounding my speakers in the car and that wont change for me!
Yeah.

maybe he's coming into something closer and better for him with him ...
Now that I think about it: Our little Keanu's growing up. Did anyone see the picture with his mother? I melted.
Posted by: Tabitha on February 1, 2005 08:54 AMpic with mom is adorable and to see thme together in person is very charming!
keanu said in his speech (he is soo cute on that podium!) he asked him mom if it was ok to become an actor and she said whatever you want!
so he said .... so thanks mom!
ahh, i wouldn't get too depressed about this. after all it's the author of the article that says keanu's band days are pretty much over -- not keanu. ;o)
