Original line up consisted of [a830305], [a662357], and [a662358]. [a662354] joined shortly afterwards. Johnny Richter left due to legal issues, whereupon [a623799] and [a662356] joined. Kevin Zinger and Brad Xavier then founded [l91576] and got a deal with Capitol Records. But Saint left KMK after the release of [m107687] due to creative differences. After this Richter came back to join KMK and to record their second album [m107689]. In 2010 [a1486503] joined but Pakelika was let go. In 2014, there was a legal dispute with label manager [a623796], which led to the band starting a new label, [l892470]. At this time Adams and Richter left the band. The band went on a hiatus shortly afterwards, until 2018, when the original founding members Miller, Thornton and Richter reformed to release [m2339941]. Thornton passed away in October 2020 and Richter left again due to legal disputes around the same time.

A new line-up was created in 2023, consisting of Miller, [a1135068], [a864989], [a662355] and [a542256].
