Catch 22 are an Auckland five piece with
a massive following around New Zealand. Catch 22 have recently
finished a lengthy residency at resident band in East Auckland's
premium venue "The London Shed". A residency contract
the band held for 5 years.
The band has been quickly snapped up and
signed into a new residency contract with ‘The Reef Bar’
Mission Bay. The Reef Bar with its clientele is an upmarket bar
over looking the Auckland waterfront and Catch 22 with their constancy
of performance and huge repoture, have transformed The Reef Bar
into a place to the new place to be seen at every weekend.

residency deals, as Catch 22 has accepted an offer to join the
‘Cock & Bull’ chain for Saturday’s, while
continuing their loyalty to ‘Reef Bar’ and its clientele

The Band Catch 22 was formed by Murray (Vocalist) over 17 years
ago playing throughout the country as part of a contract with
Lion NZ. The other long serving members Spence (drums), Jarrad
(Guitar & BV) and now freshly returned Bob (Bass & BV)
have been together in Catch 22 for over 9 years.
Catch 22 can also cater to company / special events etc. with
themed performances; amongst these is a U2 tribute and mini concert.
With the return of the original bass player (Bob) to the line
up Catch 22 now look very similar to U2 in the flesh. So much
so that Murray (Bono) was recently on C4’s Pop Goes the
Weasel appearing as his alter ego Bono, with many shocked on lookers
at the TV station having to double check it Murray wasn’t
the real deal!

Awards playing alongside top kiwi bands Augustino, Opshop, Stylus
and The WBC.

exposure of their original material within NZ and Australia throughout
2004 after their debut self funded EP "The Story So Far"
sold some 1000 copies locally. A local TV documentary crew also
followed the band to see how young NZ musicians saw the industry
after 'XLR8 your lifestyle' entertainment newspaper picked up
