| The Real McKenzies
are a Vancouver, British Columbia-based Celtic punk band. Donning the
traditional Highland garb of kilts and sporrans, the group proudly
displays it's Scottish heritage. Songs (or masterpieces, as the group
calls them) include Scots Wha Ha'e, Mainland, To The Battle, and Ceilidh.
In addition, interpretations of traditional Scottish folk songs round out
their extensive repertoire. These include... My Bonnie (Lies O'er The
Ocean), Loch Lomond (High Road), O'er The Sea To Skye, and Wild Mountain
Thyme.
Formed in the year of our Lord 1992, for
reasons, which to this day defy explanation, The Real McKenzies have
played over 2500 shows. Constant, rigorous touring and an innate sense of
always being in the wrong place at the wrong time, has led to a near
punch-up with Christian Slater in Hollywood, a "close encounter"
with an un-known flying aircraft near an Arizona air-force base, disrobing
female fans in Texas, three dislocated knees, one broken nose, one hundred
and twelve stitches, three nights in jail, a ten-inch spike through the
foot, and a guest-appearance in a commercial for Kokanee beer! |
