Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie

Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie from Bathgate near Edinburgh was one of the most influential Scottish post-punk bands in the late 1980s. The band was founded by singer Ewan Drysdale, Martin Metcalfe on guitar, Jamie Waterson on bass guitar, John Duncan (formerly The Exploited ) on guitar, Derek Kelly on drums and Shirley Manson on keyboards. The late 1980s, the band signed a major deal with the record company, Capitol Records. After her debut album "Good Deeds & Dirty Rags ", which reached number 26 in the UK after all, and was widely celebrated in the scene, Capitol Records did not want to release the second album " Hammer & Tongs " suddenly. The band then moved unceremoniously to Radioactive Records, a small Independantlabel.

Wilson, Kelly, Metcalfe and Manson founded in 1993, the band "Angel Fish" for her record deal with Radioactive Records to fulfill. Shirley Manson then left the band in favor of garbage; Metcalfe, Kelly and Wilson played in the 1990s continued under the name The Filthy Tongues and Fish Head.
