It’s the last 80sObscurities of the week – and likely the final one ever on this profile page – so I thought a formal goodbye was in order. Cue Scottish alt-rock artist Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, commonly referred to simply as The Mackenzies. Originally from Bathgate, near Edinburgh, the band was founded by vocalist Martin Metcalfe and took its name from a ‘30s novel by author Jean Rhys. While they achieved much popularity in their native land, international acclaim eluded them. In fact, outside of Scotland, they are probably best remembered for the participation of one of their backing players, Shirley Manson from estimable act Garbage. Today’s target tune is The Mackenzies’ first independent commercial single, “The Rattler”, issued in 1986 from The Precious Organisation, home to pop export Wet Wet Wet. The track was their highest-hitting release, peaking at #8 on the indie chart. Visibility for the vinyl was limited by a lack of distribution, but the song did receive some airplay on Radio One and the band also performed it “live” on The Tube. After another independent 12" single, "Face to Face" (1987), The Mackenzies signed a major label deal with Capitol Records, who issued a few more singles and the “Good Deeds and Dirty Rags” album. None charted better than the re-release of “The Rattler.” Eventually, the band ended up Radioactive Records in the mid-90s, rebranded as Angelfish and with Manson now handling lead vocals. After touring North America and earning an airing on MTV’s 120 Minutes with their music video for the track “Suffocate Me,” the group disbanded when Manson was lured by producers Stever Marker and Butch Vig to join Garbage. The remaining Mackenzies (Derek Kelly, Fin Wilson and Martin Metcalfe) would eventually form Isa & the Filthy Tongues with American singer Stacey Chavis and – after earning best new band accolades from BBC Radio Scotland – issue their debut album in 2006. It’s the end of an era here at 80sObscurities. So for now, Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie…and thanks for all the fish. youtube/watch?v=F23SoNYjEwI
