Khaya were a Scottish indie band formed in Edinburgh in 1996 and split up, apparently 'on stage', some time after the release of their final 2001 album, The Lost Feeling. Band members included: Dan Mutch (words, guitar), Greg Dodgson (keyboards), John Mackie (bass), Caroline Evens (violin), Pete Harvey (cello) and Richie Anderson (drums).
