The Real McKenzies are a Celtic-influenced punk rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. Deeply rooted in their Scottish heritage, their sound can best be described as, "the Sex Pistols meet Scottish folk legend Robbie Burns."
The Real McKenzies, who were founded in 1992 by vocalist Paul McKenzie, are inspired by the Scottish term Ceilidh, which they translate as "A wicked party which carries on for days." McKenzie sees the band's music as a reaction against the traditional Scottish music that he heard growing up.
The Real McKenzies have toured North America six times and Europe five times. During these tours, they have shared the stage with Rancid, Shane MacGowan, Flogging Molly, The Bay City Rollers, The Briefs, among others.
