Mp3s of the new material are available on the band's website, www.robotvsrabbit.com.
* Singer/guitarist Eric Gilstrap has parted ways with his band of six years, Borghal Rantipole. Currently, he's playing the occasional solo gig and says a new band may be in the works.
* Keith Watson of Obey Bizar and Billy Grey of Method 51 have moved to Atlanta to join Rich Ward and Bud Fontsere (formerly of Stuck Mojo) in their new project, Sick Speed (www.sickspeed.net). Watson will be pulling double duty, also playing bass for Fozzy (www.fozzyrock.com), which is fronted by Chris Jericho from the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).

* Frocky Jack recently assembled a recording section as part of their Sticky Gum Records. Eric Cavanaugh of the band says we can expect to hear lots of new material in 2002. In addition to working on their next full-length release, they'll also be working with local and regional acts to put out samplers of unreleased material. Anyone interested in being considered for one of the projects can e-mail doombilly@yahoo.com.
* Nasty Promotions raised $2500 at their annual holiday benefit show which was held at Tremont Music Hall on Saturday, December 1.

* The annual American Traditions Competition, a vocal competition open to all ages, and which requires no formal voice training, will be held March 1-10, 2002 during the Savannah Onstage International Arts Festival in Savannah, GA. To enter, vocalists can call 912-236-5745 or visit www.savannahonstage.org. Deadline for entry applications is December 28.
* Raleigh-based Deep South, in association with Epic Records, hosted a showcase earlier this week at the Lincoln Theatre (located in Raleigh). Apparently, Epic is in the process of scouting for local talent, and they approached Deep South to help in the selection and logistics of the showcase. Revelation Darling, Far Too Jones, Sankofa, Brown, Runaway Cab and Weekend Excursion were among those who were scheduled to perform. *
