History
Jaya The Cat was founded by Geoff Lagadec (vocals/guitar), Dave Smith (guitar/vocals), and Ben Murphy (bass).

After drummer David "The Germ" Germain (formerly with Shadows Fall) joined the band they began touring the US and Europe.
In 2002 the band arrived in Holland to play the Lowlands Festival. In 2003 they recorded a live album, Ernesto’s Burning. After the release of the second album First Beer of a New Day Dave Smith (guitar) and Ben Murphy (bass) quit the band. The remaining members decided to move to Amsterdam where they have collaborated with a number of Dutch musicians, some of which have permanently joined the band.
