This music video could very well be the first one ever made in Yellowknife, maybe the NWT and it is awesome. The band “The Komatiks” were a Yellowknife band from 1985 to 1988 and had one cassette – yeah cassette not even a CD – called “Spirit of the Wind”.
The video below is of the bands song “Isolation Blues” which was made in 1985. It was produced by Mart Coulthard and Gary Elmer who worked for the CBC at the time.
The video is a blast from the past with many big local names involved in it like Norman Glowach, Pat Braden and Terry Woolfe. Other band members included Tom Hudson, James Milligan, Wayne Bertrand, Paul Tanner and Sue Leon.
Enjoy.
Loved seeing this video.Thanks Linda Whitford for posting the link. Tom Hudson was always one of the best singers to ever perform in YK venues. Nice to see all these other guys again after more than 25 years
So what’s up with NWTblogs.com now?
My server overloaded and I had to take it down in order to keep this site up. It is to expensive to run without any sponsor backing. Know anyone?
Can’t say I do. Thanks for giving it a shot, anyway.
