Dakota Moon met during a recording session in Los Angeles, and decided to form a full-time band because the session went well. After touring the L. A. club circuit, the band was hired to open for Tina Turner in 1997, and a deal was inked with Elektra Records that same year. They released two albums for Elektra, in 1998 and 2002, and charted two hits in the US.
