The Real McKenzies are a celtic punk rock band donning traditional (and sometimes not so traditional) highland garb of kilts and sporrans. The band is made up of 6 raucious lads who claim to be entirely Scottish while on stage, if at no other time. Formed in the mid nineties for reasons that defy explanation, The RM's have played over 3,000 gigs. Constant rigorous touring & an innate sense of always being in the right place at the wrong time has led to many memorable war stories, many injuries, many whiskies, many shows with some of the greatest bands around, and too much more fun & fury to detail! The RM's have embraced the new millenium with renewed vim & vigor. You can find the 21st century Celtic bards gregariously preparing for their next release with new skins on drums, new strings on guitars, sharpening their wits & swords readying themselves for a new campaign of fun & Celtic storm!

And now for something completely different. If Scotland had punk rockers back during the Highland Clearnances, I don't think there would have been any clearances. The Real McKenzies play Scottish punk. And here, they take on one of Robert Burns poem, and give it their own non-traditional, highly raucous flare. If you're ready to rebel, crank up the music!
