THE REAL MCKENZIES

Genre: Punk Rock

The modern-day Celtic bards known as the Real McKenzies hail from Vancouver, BC and are a punk band deeply rooted in their Scottish heritage with a sound best described as the Sex Pistols meet Scottish folk legend Robbie Burns. The Scottish term Ceilidh (pronounced kee-lee), is the main reason why the Real McKenzies formed and their chief inspiration. Ceilidh, according to the McKenzies, is a Gaelic word meaning “A wicked party which carries on for days”. Founded by frontman Paul McKenzie in 1992, he cites his family as another motivating factor, “As a lad, my parents and grandparents would dress me up in a kilt and make me sing and dance to traditional Scottish music. Starting a Scottish punk band is my way of getting revenge!” You’re probably wondering how it is that group of Canadians can rightly rollick and roam the countryside in the name of Scotland. Paul offers an explanation, “A great many Scots immigrated to Canada. Ya see, the Scottish went north and the Irish went south…as they often do.”
The McKenzies have just finished up recording their latest full length Oot & Aboot, at San Francisco’s esteemed Motor Studios with Ryan Greene. Oot & Aboot is their 2nd record for Honest Don’s, and the follow-up to their breakthrough, Loch’d & Loaded. No doubt about it though, this is their best sounding record thus far as it’s also the first time these drunks recorded at a proper studio.
TRM are proven warriors of the road, having toured North America six times and Europe (where they draw huge crowds) five times. They’ve toured and played shows with Rancid, Shane MacGowan, NOFX, Flogging Molly, The Bay City Rollers (yep, it’s true), The Briefs, and many more. Always touring, always drinking, and always rockin’, the haggis-fueled McKenzie clan is hearty bunch that desires only to bring their brand of Celtic punk rock to every remote corner of the globe. Dirty Kurt puts it best, “We’ve been through tons of members, tons of broken bones, and tons of beer.” Their unending tour schedule would make William Wallace himself exhausted. 2003 is shaping up to be a banner for the ‘Kenzies as they played over 30 sold out shows on the North American Fat Tour.
Always performing in full Highland regalia, the Real McKenzies are a true credit to their ancestors. For their live show they don kilts, high stockings, and sporrans (those weird belt thingies). You have to experience the a live McKenzie show to see it’s not entirely traditional, but hands down the rowdiest punk show this side of Glasgow! These inclusive punks see to it that everyone has a good time and a stiff drink in their hand.

Gumbabies

Five Munich Punkrockers of five different Munich Punkrock-Bands released a DIY-Debut CD called “How Can I win?” in 2003. THE GUMBABIES were born [the name derives from southafrican winegums in the shape of aborted fetuses]. Initially only supposed as a demo, the CD-R turned out to be some kind of success of its own: Suprisingly and without any promo more and more complete strangers seemed to feel the urge to buy that tiny piece of sound on plastic and it wasn..t long and the band found itself on their first Tour called “Junkie Shit In The Yellow Press” through southern Germany, Austria & Italy. Some thousand miles and countless chords later THE GUMBABIES released the 6-track-CD „Another Ragged Army“ in Mid-2005 via two labels in two countries: Caustic Rock Records in Germany and NoFrontTeeth Rec. in the UK. This release was followed up by the “Stick The System Up Your Ass” – Tour calling at Germany & Austria. Apart from constant live-performances – as tour-support for international colleagues as well as doing headliner-slots in the usual venues for the revolutionary avant-garde [read: punks] – and various compilation-tracks, THE GUMBABIES have just released their new full length album “This Is Plastic” on Schlecht & Schwindlig Records (distributed by New Music Distribution). Another recent project the band is involved with is doing the soundtrack for a theatre play & audio book that will also be to be heard of in 2009. By the beginning of 2009, THE GUMBABIES hit the road for a Germany-Tour called “we..re not in here for the future” which lead them up and down in Germany as well as parts of Europe. In August, the Band keeps on playing live constantly and will do a Italy-Tour in August, as well as short trips to Berlin, the Ruhr-area, Belgium and Austria. A collector-series of new EPs is planned. Watch out for this and the amazing Gumpunk-Live-Experience in your city!
