The Mission

ACCIDENTAL INFLUENCE

Originally formed in 2009, the band began under the name MidLife Criziz. They began playing shows, and soon were headlining most of the shows they played. Changes in the band lineup in 2011 caused the band to move in a new direction with their music and the direction led to a new band name.
Accidental Influence is a hard hitting band out of the central Missouri area. The band has plenty of hard rocking original material to keep the heads banging and the horns flying!!!!!

Dan “Icy Hot”-Drums
