Roots reggae, ska, punk rock: the three main ingredients of the cocktail that Jaya The Cat mix together usually conjure up images of sunny beaches, the cool laid-back attitude of California or at least the sultry haze of Florida. So it's all the more surprising that the band around mastermind and frontman Geoff Lagadec and drummer David Germain originated in the rather mild climate of Boston. The fact that Jaya The Cat chose the European metropolis of Amsterdam as their new headquarters in 2003 and brought their creamy mix of sounds to the party people from there on four albums to date fits together as well as piña colada and Caribbean sun.
