Biography:
Real McKenzies is a Celtic punk band founded in Vancouver, Canada in 1992, described as "a guitar-and-bagpipe wailing Celtic punk rock-and-roll". They have set themselves apart from other punk bands by including bagpipes in all of their studio albums and at most of their concerts, much like the similar bands Dropkick Murphys and Flatfoot 56. Their current piper, Matt MacNasty, has been with the band since its release of "Loch'd and Loaded" in 2001.
