Ontario Ojibway · 02-23-2001, 11:23 PM

Its time to separate the NORTHERN category into original and contempoary. So what original groups are rocking the house this year?

Yeah, I agree with you True Warrior.

Awahali-smooth sound
Kau-Ta-Noh Jrs.-just plain jammin'
Battle River-Oh my God!
Mandaree-very respected group, best oldschool sounding group

Just had to give my penny's worth.

The best original these days seem to be coming from the Chippewas/Ojibways and Crees these days: Battle River, Snake Island, High Noon, Red Bull, White Tail and Rockboy/Haystack.

White Eagle- everyone sings Arlie's songs
Mandaree- everyone sings the Baker's songs
Battle River- Kingbirds at their best
High Noon- jamming tunes but they need to get rid of that Darryl guy!
Red Bull- when they have a full crew
Mystic River- they need to be more repectful. I seen a few of these guys manhandling spectators and other singers at Schemitzun last year.
WhiteTail- when they first hit the scene, they were powerful but they must have lost some of their singers.
Haystack- always good old tunes
Snake Island- up and coming

Manhandling, huh? What's this about? They're a good group, nonetheless!

Yes they are a good group, that is why I have them on my list but I was only stating that I witnessed a couple of them disrespecting people at Schemitzun. Inappropriate behaviour for singers as this reflects on their group.

Ontario Ojibway · 02-28-2001, 07:14 PM

Ok people, lets not get off topic here!
My favorite originals: High Noon, Battle River, WhiteTail, Haystack, Mandaree, Mystic River, WhiteEagle, Badlands, Porcupine, Fly-In-Eagle, Indian Nation, White Horse, Snake Island and Mountain Soul.

BrownHornet · 02-28-2001, 10:39 PM

Hmmm,

I would have to say:

High Noon
Snake Island
White Tail
Mandaree

There are many others but these are a few of my favorite.

I think of that whole category I'd pick battle river.

Good bunch of dudes, really good singers and songmakers....
