The band was formed by lead vocalist Matt Kramer and guitarist Jason Bieler along with bassist Tom DeFile and drummer Phil Varone.

The band signed to the CMC International label in 1995, and the lineup of Bieler, McLernon, Varone, and Dembrowski released their fourth album Devil in the Details that same year.

A new song was recorded called "Dizzy's Vine" which was released on Moments from the Fringe, a compilation album of demos and rare tracks.

[citation needed] Bieler, Dembrowski, and Sanders recorded the final Saigon Kick studio album, Bastards for release in the Far East in 1999.

Jason Bieler, being involved with Super TransAtlantic and wanting no part of a reunion, was replaced by DeFile's former Left For Dead bandmate Jeff Blando on guitar.

Bieler, Dembrowski, and Sanders, along with bassist Pat Badger of Extreme, formed Super TransAtlantic and released the band's only album Shuttlecock in 2000.

Matt Kramer released his debut solo album titled War & Peas on September 11, 2002, through Lascivious Records.

Varone left Skid Row in 2003, citing his ongoing battle with cocaine addiction and his need to turn his life around.

His focus is no longer primarily music, and up until the summer of 2010, he was booking and hosting stand-up comedy shows in Los Angeles.

[4] On February 25, 2013, via the official Saigon Kick page on Facebook, they announced that Tom Defile was no longer involved with the reunion.

A string of concerts were played in March / April 2013 in Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City.

These shows are significant in the band's history as they saw the return of original bassist Tom Defile to stand in for Chris McLernon.
