JAKALOPE - was first spawned in the creative mind of world-renowned producer and mixer, Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Skinny Puppy, Marilyn Manson). His conceptual aim was towards a new musical hybrid rooted in industrial music but flowing smoothly between searing rock and melodic pop. With new singer Chrsytal Leigh on board (Perfect Strangers, Closing Iris), the latest Jakalope CD "Delicious" has graduated from the sheet-metal bubblegum blueprint of their first two albums into something slinkier and more substantial. Previously repressed influences like Giorgio Moroder and Michael Jackson have surfaced, leading naturally to a lush, multi-dimensional sound with a neon-lit, smoke-infused feel. With a stellar history of collaborators including Trent Reznor and members of Rush, Sloan, Ministry, Monster Magnet, Sons Of Freedom and Babes In Toyland, Jakalope's music has been featured by Instant Star and as the intro theme for Degrassi: The Next Generation while their cover art won a 2005 Juno Award. http://www.myspace.com/jakalope

WINTER OF FREEDOM is a 4 piece band that delivers heavy melodic rock with electronic influences. Their live shows are a full on multimedia experience with striking visual themes tailored for each song and displayed via flat screen TVs on stage. While their music crosses musical and cultural boundaries, their visuals grab your attention with imagery of Viking invasions, Medieval conquests and journeys to the farthest reaches of space. http://www.myspace.com/winteroffreedom
