I Hate Kate played with bands such as Social Distortion, Chevelle, Hot Hot Heat, The Bravery, The Living End, My Chemical Romance, Unwritten Law, Secondhand Serenade, and Shiny Toy Guns.

In June 2010, a woman named Kate, after whom the band was named, left lead man Justin Mauriello an angry voicemail about the use of her name for the band and threatening legal action.
