In 1966 The Bad Boys, a band out of Haney BC (a suburb of Vancouver) changed name to The Northwest Company and for a while they were one of the most popular bands on the Canadian west coast. The original lineup consisted of Rick McCartey (lead vocals), Ray O'Toole (lead guitar and vocals), Vidor Skofteby (rhythm guitar), Gowan Jurgensen (bass), and Jerry Ringrose (drums). They released a handful of singles but never achieved any chart success and folded in 1973.
Below is a clip from the TV show “Let’s Go” with The Northwest Company playing “Flying On The Ground Is Wrong” which was written by Neil Young and appears on the first Buffalo Springfield album from 1966 - the Guess Who also released it as a single in 1967.
