Twinstar came into being in 1997, when LA rings Revolux and Chihuahua broke aside and various users from both rings played a display in the South by Southwest and North by Northwest entertainment meetings. They holed up immediately after those displays to begin focus on their debut Compact disc, an eponymous recording that featured many guest looks from members from the Mighty Lemon Drops and Remy No. The members from the music group consist of vocalist/guitarist Keith Joyner, bassist Chris Candelaria, guitarist Michael Chaves, and drummer Rob Kurzreiter, although drummer Andy Kubiszewski packed in around the debut album.
