JAYA THE CAT / PIÑATA PROTEST

In the organizer's words:

Reggae / Ska / Punk concert at the HALLE

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, on the other hand, is quite a surprise. From there, they have released four albums to date and, contrary to all Dutch clichés, have developed into an incredibly powerful and versatile live band. You've probably seen them before with the Beatsteaks, Less Than Jake or Sublime. Their latest album is still called "A Good Day For The Damned" and is once again a special mix of noisy punk rock, rootsy classic reggae licks and energetic ska, enhanced with set pieces from blues, soul, dub, dancehall and hip hop. In a word, it has everything you could want from a skapunk record. The evening will be opened by the great Tex-Mex and squeezebox punkers of Piñata Protest from San Antonio.
