Kava Kava is the rock band / live dance act from Huddersfield in the UK featuring the vocals of Pat Fulgoni, Matt Bond guitarist, Jason Riley on bass guitar, Mick Reed on drums alongside electronica, brass, strings and beats.

They originally starting out as a four-piece live psychedelic funk outfit with heavy George Clinton influences. In the UK the Kavas cut their teeth through the underground festival/party scene, with NME describing the band as "gorgeous new psychedelic funk" for their debut 'You Can Live Here' [verification needed].

The band expanded into a six piece and released 2004's 'Maui' album on independent label Chocolate Fireguard Records. The music on 'Maui' is more dance electronic, funk and disco influenced. They have toured all over Europe including Glastonbury Festival and their music has been featured in a number of films and TV shows including Boys and Girls Guide To Getting Down and Golden Globe award–winning TV series Weeds.[citation needed]
