Ivan reformed Men Without Hats in 2010 as the frontman and lead vocalist, and was joined by backup musicians that he hired through auditions. The band debuted on September 24, 2010, at the Rifflandia Music Festival in Victoria, British Columbia, performing ten songs from the Men Without Hats back catalogue. The revived band was described by the "Austin American-Statesman" as "simply singer Ivan Doroschuk and some hired guns" and by Stefan as a "tribute band". Despite these initial reactions, the band's "Dance If You Want Tour" opened in March 2011 with a well-attended and positively received performance at Austin's South by Southwest event.
