They were initially active from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s, during which time the band found moderate success but garnered media attention due to Reeves' status as a Hollywood actor.

With Quattro Formaggi, they released their first disc, a four-track EP in 1996, via Zoo Entertainment, and followed this up with their debut album, Our Little Visionary, which was only distributed in Japan, even though Dogstar already had a worldwide fanbase at the time.

Domrose went on to perform as a solo artist, briefly played guitar with the band Berlin and is currently writing music for film and television.

[13] In the years following the band's final performance in 2002, its three members occasionally met up for jam sessions at Mailhouse's home in Silver Lake.

Eight-hour rehearsal days soon turned into songwriting sessions; within two and a half months, the band had written more than enough songs for a new album, which they enlisted Dave Trumfio to produce.

The band also announced a 25-date tour in North America and Japan in support of the album, beginning August 10 in Hermosa Beach, California.
