Real McKenzies

[RockyR]

If you could sum up the Real McKenzies in one or two sentance what you say. Also did you make a kilt for one of the people in The Dropkick Murhpys?

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.
