Jakalope is a group of talented Canadian industrial/pop singers. The band came into the being in the year 2003, by one of the most popular and famous Canadian industrial musician and producer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie. He is more popular for his work in studio performing such acts as Marilyn Manson, Skinny Puppy, David Bowie, and Nine Inch Nails.
Jakalope was started as an open-concept project in the year 2003. It was headed by Dave Ogilvie. The main aim of his concept was to bring out a new kind musical genre that was rooted in industrial music, for which generally Ogilvie is popular, and that which will be able to flow melodiously between searing rock and melodic pop. While he was practicing with the music, it was during this time that Ogilvie came to know the vocal styling of Katie B. At that particular time she was working with Bryan Adams' The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia. They became friends and came to know that they shared the same interest and so Katie was invited by Ogilvie to join Jakalope and took her position as the front woman in the center stage of Jakalope. Although the lineup of the bands keeps on changing due to the nature of the band, nevertheless the core members of the band are Katie B, Phil Caivano (Monster Magnet), Matt Warhurst (SNFU), Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Sean Stubbs, Anthony Valcic (Fu) and "The Three Dons" Don Harrison, Don Binns and Don Short. They all were the former members of Sons of Freedom and 2preciious.
