    Real McKenzies

    If you like Dropkick Murphys' sound, bagpipes and CRAZY Scots, check out the Real McKenzies...

    While you're there, check out who they're using for their kiltmaker (link on the left hand column of the links page):

    The Real McKenzies are one of the best Canadian punk bands I love when they come around to Ontario looks like the folks in BC are in for a treat.

    Ya, I love the McKenzies' music. My avatar is actually from one of their T-shirts I have. Modified, of course, with my family tartan and family shield!
    I hope they find time to do a US tour this year.

    They sound pretty good! Might have to consider purchasing one of their albums.

    Real McKenzies are CRAZY punk rock and roll guys who LOVE SCOTLAND, Robert Burns, bagpipes and Kilts.

    Yes... we make Scruffy's kilts in DKM. He's a friend of mine. He and his wife Rae live up in Calgary, right near Matt "McNasty" (bagpiper) from the Real McKenzies. Scruffy and he hang out a lot and Scruffy introduced me to him.

    If you have a chance, buy the Real McKenzie "Pissed to the Gills: A drunken live tribute to Robbie Burns" DVD (has a bunch more stuff than the Music CD of the same name). It is a RIOT!

    They're Canadian?
    Well, I'll be plum jiggered.

    Though that could explain why the lead singer on the live album mentions "Glasgie" in reference to Glasgow.
    For some reason, no North American has ever heard of Glesga.

    A friend just turned me on to the Real McKenzies.....bought me the CD
    with them lifting the bottle like a flag on the cover.
    Wow, great stuff. It's a bit 'punker' than I usually listen to, but I LIKE it
    a lot. Love their punk take on "Farewell to Nova Scotia".
    Good stuff.
    "Fide et Fortitudine"
    (fidelity & fortitude)
    ALBA GU BRAW!!!!!
