Paul McKenzie  - Lead Vocals Dirty Kurt Robertson  - Guitar Vocals Jamie Fox  - Bass Guitar The "Bone"  - Guitar Vocals Brad Attitude  - War Drums Matthew MacNasty  - Bagpipes At times, they have been joined by special members of the "McKenzie Alumni", such greats as... juno award winner Raven "Black Cloud" MacLeod, Bad Religion's Jay Bentley, Bay City Roller Les McKeown, Anthony Walker of Art Bergman Band, Richard Priske of Bif Naked & Matthew Good Band, even GROOVEMONGER bassist STUART MacNEIL has put in a tour of duty as BagPiper. One of the most memorable highlights of the REAL McKENZIES' career was a Robbie Burns day performance backed by world champions... The SFU Pipe Band. Plus... a vast list of great musicians too numerous to list. Their present lineup offers a dual guitar assault of historic proportions, which usually ends in a guitar duel of historic proportions...

Formed in the mid 90's, for reasons, which to this day defy explanation, The REAL McKENZIES have played over 3,000 gigs. Constant, rigorous touring & an innate sense of always being in the right place at the wrong time has lead the band to a near punch up with Christian Slater over bagels & acting style on Fairfax Ave. in L.A., a close encounter with an unknown flying aircraft near AREA 51 in Nevada, a beer drinking swirlee contest with the Toilet Boys in New York New York, pub crawling in San Francisco with Fat Mike, a recent west coast tour with Flogging Molly that was so successful hardly anyone can remember it, and a performance on the Mike Bullard Show (a Canadian late night talk show host who was defiled by Tom Green with a dead beaver).

In 1995, IFA Records of Seattle gave The REAL McKENZIES an unprecedented signing bonus in return for one evening's worth of unbridled frivolity, to be captured and displayed in all of it's natural Celtic fury. This, after being transformed by engineering genius Johnny Dunleavy (& the consumption of 1/2 a case of Scotch Whiskey) became the curiously titled "Scotland". Following this release the REAL McKENZIES hit the road for 3 Canadian tours and 2 U.S. tours. In March of '98 the band appeared for a Labbatts/Kokanee blind date concert at Snow Valley Ski Resort near Edmonton. The summer of '98 saw the lads on the road as part of The Vans Warped Tour, sharing the stage with such great bands as Bad Religion, NOFX, Rancid, & many many more.

A new album, "Clash of the Tartans", released by Joe Keithley's Sudden Death Records, features guest appearances by DOA's Brien O'Brien on drums, The Paperboys' Shannon Saunders playing accordion and Allan "Raven" Macleod, on bagpipes. Sudden Death Records is the brainchild of DOA's Joey "Shithead" Keithley. He has taken his vast years of experience being ripped off, told off, and ignored, and added a few new tricks of his own! The first video taken from Clash of the Tartans, entitled "Mainland", proved to be a painful experience. The concept of the video, shot & directed by Danny Nowak (Hardcore Logo, The Big Hit, Flesh Gordon Meets The Cosmic Cheerleaders), has the guys marooned at sea, stranded without an ounce of Scotch. After spying a lone boat in the distance, the guys launch an invasion of the craft, securing the ship as their own and rescuing/capturing several damsels in distress!
