Courtney seems to be doing not too horrible for herself, inheriting Nirvana royalty rights. Last year she started her own clothing line, and starred in Sons of Anarchy along side Saskatoon's Kim Coates..

Ponteix has played the festival circuit from BC to Quebec, where Montreal-based filmmaker Nichola Marakas, so enamored by the group from videoing their festival performances offered to make a short film video 12 minute epic of one of the band's songs. Nichola paid his own way out to Saskatchewan to do the Prairie clips with the group's music & Montreal city footage interspersed.

Mandy Ringdal from Outlook, Saskatchewan halfway between Saskatoon & Regina released a few weeks ago an inspirational song/video for Cancer survivors.
Mandy is an ovarian cancer survivor herself & along with some other Saskatchewan women in testimonial second half of first video link below.

Mandy is very thoughful, heart-felt in her lyrics to music and she reminds me a lot of lead singer Natalie Maines from Dixie Chicks.

..As much as I like watching their directed/produced video productions it's their live performance videos I love to watch most.
Close Talker's have done a lot of really fun concept concerts, such as #JAMINTHEVAN Venture, CA and Sofar NewYork concert series. It really shows composure during complexity of playing multiple instruments with effortless ease.

Psychedelic space rockers, The Radiation Flowers from Saskatoon released latest album Summer Loop last month with Sunmask records (NAmerica) & Cardinal Fuzz (UK/Europe).

Checkout their songs on:
https://theradiationflowers.bandcamp.com/

The Radiation Flowers previously released a split 7" with Swedish rockers The Orange Revival and have toured Europe & the festival circuit there & here at home. Be on the lookout for up coming tour with this album release.

Here's one of my favourite videos of theirs from last year, I like the James-Bond-opening-credits psuedo effects

Another Saskatoon band, the all girl group, The Garrys have a very similar vocal sound to The Radiation Flowers above.
With retro vibes and a surf-doowop sound, The Garrys also just released a new album couple months ago called Surf Manitou

http://exclaim.ca/music/article/the_...album_premiere

The Garrys previous album from last year Warm Buds had same soft harmonizing blend of airy, passive vocals & singing about food & staying in bed all day long.
I love the fact they used footage of award winning Broadway dancer Gwen Verdon from 50 years ago in video for 'In This Dream'.
I also love the fact that the video has over two hundred thousand youtube hits & counting, making their video the most viewed song by a Canadian all female group in years (except for the duo Tegan and Sara).

The Steadies, also from the Paris-of-the-Prairies, has also had a female drummer, Lexie Miller.

Fronted by Earl Pereira one of the original cofounders of Saskatoon's Wide Mouth Mason from the early 2000s which were the first North American rock band to perform in mainland China,
The Steadies have come full circle having signed with MusicDish China this last January & The Steadies did their Asian Tour 2017 in May & June.
