The modern-day Celtic bards known as
The Real McKenzies
hail from Vancouver, BC and are a punk band
deeply rooted in their Scottish heritage with a sound best described as the Sex Pistols meet Scottish
folk legend Robbie Burns. The Scottish term Ceilidh (pronounced kee-lee), is the main reason why The
Real McKenzies formed and their chief inspiration. Ceilidh, according to The McKenzies, is a Gaelic
word meaning "A wicked party which carries on for days". Founded by frontman Paul McKenzie in 1994,
he cites his family as another motivating factor, "As a lad, my parents and grandparents would dress
me up in a kilt and make me sing and dance to traditional Scottish music. Starting a Scottish punk
band is my way of getting revenge!" You're probably wondering how it is that group of Canadians can
rightly rollick and roam the countryside in the name of Scotland. Paul McKenzie offers an explanation,
"A great many Scots immigrated to Canada. Ya see, the Scottish went north and the Irish went south... as
they often do."
The Real McKenzies are true gadabouts at heart. Fueled by an insatiable appetite for filthy punk shows,
Scotch whisky, and all out mayhem, these kilt-clad punks continue on their quest to bring their patented
brand of music to the masses. Once again, they're doing just that with another awesome release,
Shine Not Burn,
available through
Fat Wreck Chords.
