Founded in 1992 by the larger than life, Scottish punk-rock poet, Mr Paul McKenzie, this merry band of miscreants has spent a quarter century circumnavigating the globe to bring the McKenzies gospel to an ever-expanding throng of rebels, scallywags and ne'er do wells.
Songs of the Highlands, Songs of the Sea is a stellar collection of punked up sea-shanties, epic Scottish traditionals and mournful ballads served up with the scorching intensity that only The Real McKenzies can deliver. The pandemic hit the band hard (like everyone else), derailing their national tours and forcing the members into lockdown. Not ones to rest on their laurels, the McKenzies put together a phenomenal series of virtual concerts, including a massive anniversary party at The (empty) Rickshaw Theatre that saw thousands of people attend virtually from over 80 countries worldwide!
They released their eleventh full-length “Beer & Loathing” in July 2020 followed by “Float Me Boat (Best of)” in March 2022. Now with SOTHSOTS, The Real McKenzies are roaring back to life on the road with this outstanding omnibus of massive anthems that have always been so close to their hearts.
