The name Jakalope may not ring a lot of bells, but the group’s composition will likely cause a whole lot of excitement amongst ‘90s industrial fans.
Jakalope is the brainchild of Skinny Puppy producer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, a studio veteran who’s helped out just about every important industrial/nu goth band of the last couple decades, working with Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Coal Chamber, Front Line Assembly, Einsturzende Neubauten and, er, Sloan, among others. To form his dream project, Ogilvie recruited a young singer named Katie B., as well as the three Dons of Sons Of Freedom fame (Don Harrison, Don Binns and Don Short) and studio dude Anthony Valcic, who was a member of Moev.
While the permanent Jakalope line-up is pretty juicy on its own, it’s the guest stars they’ve recruited for their debut album that will really make they industrial types drool. Ogilvie called in favours from many of his past collaborators who were all happy to join in the Jackalope fun. The mighty Trent Reznor produced, wrote and played on various tracks for the album and Monster Magnet, Jamey Koch (a.k.a. Bob Rock) and S.N.F.U. have also stepped in. Jakalope are still in studio working on the album and Babes In Toyland’s Kat Bjelland and members of 12 Rounds and Sikth are also expected to lay down some tracks with the band.
Jakalope recently signed a deal with Toronto’s Orange Record Label, which also plays home to Jim Bryson, Lindy, Melissa McClelland and Canadian Idol contestant Billy Klippert. The label will release the debut Jakalope single in April with a full length following in June.

i believe the only thing not accurate anymore is that the release dates are obviously pushed back... but we all knew this was inevitable once trent got involved.

seriously got my skin jumping.
very very great art/design/musical stuffers.
and yea i love Rave's work on....well pretty much everything...SP..NIN. etc.
I had no idea he had his own project, thank you orest.
Leviathant was right...this will be a great year for music...hope trent can fit his spot in before the years up.

I like the music on the site, it's fragilish..
orangerecordlabel.com has a little, (ok, pretty much nothing) info on Jakalope. Although they do have some amusing photos of Jakalope.

That music sounds like great stuff. Can't wait to hear more. 
did any get the desktop of the site ?
made for a pretty high resolution
but it's kinda cool
& explains the name of the link the site's been given on nin.com
http://jakalope.net/desktops/jakalopedesktop1600.jpg
you get it by clicking on the little 7 button that appears just above and to the right of the counter in the bottom right of the site. not sure how i got it ... but i think it came when the timer ran out & the little amoeba ghoul rose up on the right & i clicked on that ...
anyways ... pretty cool
reminds me of the things falling apart & the aatchb website !
it's all good

So, is that all there is to the site so far? The music, the timer, and the desktop image?
That shit's just cool. The music's neat and I just love the visual on the home page.
hey i found a secret. zoom in and look for a 7 to click on
edit: sorry didnt read the thread. it sounds like some kind of evil scientist who made a half plant/half bird (flora and fauna).
and the name mingoweed ( flamingo weed)

Can't find the 7, but thanks for posting a link to the .jpg
I'm wondering if there are all sorts of goodies hidden here.
I'm interested in this--- the sound is reminiscent of Kidney Thieves to me for some reason, maybe even with some APC flavor somehow....don't ask me why I pick up that impression though.
I like the Flashwork--it looks great.
Now, where's a pic of this girlie singer Katie B...

I'd like a high-resolution image of the site on my desktop... I'm not too fond of the wallpaper, but the main site looks gorgeous.
I wonder if there's a purpose for that... er... thing that shows up in the top right when the timer ends... Hmm...
Oh, and has anyone bothered to record the music? That's just friggin' sweet. I can tell this is going to be a great, great project.

am i missing something? the only thing i heard was a loop of a few seconds of ambience. from what people were saying about it, i expected to hear some real music.

Nope, that's all there is. I was expecting a little more than the flash and the desktop jpg. There's not enough to get too excited about yet.

it's not much.....but it's more exciting than AFI covering Head Like a Hole.
