KC Accidental was formed in 1998, and started out as a two-person recording project consisting of Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin.
Many of these musicians went on to work with Drew and Spearin in Broken Social Scene, who released their debut album, Feel Good Lost on Noise Factory in 2001.
As a reference to the earlier group, Broken Social Scene included a song titled "KC Accidental" on its Juno Award-winning album You Forgot It in People.

[6] On June 21, 2013, KC Accidental performed a new 15-minute song entitled "Summer Withdrawal" live at Jason Collett's Courtyard Revue in Toronto.
