Red Five Point Star started out by playing mostly local clubs and festivals. They made their first notable appearance in 2001 when they entered the Slovenian music competition 'Kdo bo osvojil Triglav?' (Who Will Climb Triglav?) and made it to the finals. After that they soon appeared on various song compilations. They released their first album In Colour in 2005 and began touring abroad (Germany, France, Italy, The Balkan states). Red Five Point Star started touring relentlessly and quickly became one of the most well known Slovenian bands that tour overseas. They have had some lineup changes, but their core remains solid and devoted to live performances at home and abroad.

Their dedication to live shows is also evident from the fact that they eagerly accept any concert invitation. This paid off in an invitation to do a 'test' European tour together from Robert "Bucket" Hingley, founder of Megalith Records and The Toasters, one of the most prominent ska bands in the world. Hingley was quickly convinced of the band's live potential and invited Red Five Point Star to also do a tour of the South-East United States in 2011.
The inaugural collaboration between the two bands took place at the 2011 edition of Punk Rock Holiday festival in Tolmin, Slovenia. The bands then performed together on stage to wild acclaim from the audience and other bands performing at the festival. This was followed by the release of their latest record Worst Case Scenario on Megalith Records and the above mentioned US tour with the Toasters.
