HotChaCha was an American, Cleveland, Ohio-based art punk, band composed of Jovana Batkovic (vocals), Greg Gebhard (guitar/keyboard) and Roseanna Safos (drums).

HotChaCha formed in 2007 when Jovana Batkovic and Mandy Aramouni decided to start a band over coffee at the West Side Market, and later enlisted Lisa Paulovcin to play drums.

HotChaCha played their first show at Pat's in the Flats in 2007 as part of a benefit for the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center.

The members of HotChaCha had no expectations of fame, but their confidence increased after positive audience reception in Cleveland and beyond.

After the departure of Heather Gmucs, Greg Gebhard was chosen as a replacement after open auditions in early 2011.
