2010 has been a pivotal year for Jakalope. Only a few weeks ago the band released their latest album, Things That Go Jump in the Night, and have had a busy year touring, with a recently announced late December addition to that list here in Vancouver alongside Marianas Trench. Jakalope was also one of the featured artists to appear on the recently released A 604 Records Christmas, with the single “Frostbite Kisses”. asapmusicblog.ca got the chance to go one-on-one with Dave Ogilvie of Jakalope to discuss the new album, the addition of Chrystal to the band, favourite Christmas memories, and more!

A: Just a few weeks ago you guys released your latest album, “Things that go Jump in the Night”. Tell us a little about what we can expect from this album?
D: I think you can expect to hear some great new music that you haven’t heard before, and here’s sort of a culmination of the last 2 and a half years of my life. It’s something that I’m very proud of in that it’s a new sound for us, and it’s something that is definitely an evolution of what we’ve done before.
A: Why did you choose to go with that specific title?
D: I’ve always tried to have titles that have had something to do with the whole Jakalope concept that I came up with. One day I was just thinking about the whole rabbit aspect of it, and the creature aspect of, and kind of a scary aspect of it, and that seemed to represent everything I was looking at. And it was a lucky little play on words, it just seemed to fit really to the whole project, and to the aspect of how some of the music is as well, where I would love to get people up and dancing with us.
