CATCH 22 PLAY THE SOCIAL IN ORLANDO ON 3/31/05!

Catch 22 are on tour in support of their brand new live album and live DVD! As one of the tightest and most explosive live bands in the ska scene, they mix elements of jazz, R&B, soul and funk to their patented ska/punk sound. Catch 22's ability to draw large crowds and sell substantial quantities of albums defies the perception that ska was a trend and has passed; proving that great music is beyond trends.

Catch 22 are at their best onstage, feeding off the crowd’s energy provokes fiery performances of their air-tight arrangements – their hardcore energy is more apparent in that environment and that is the way the band likes it. “Making a record is fun, and its great to think about the fact that kids have our music at home, but absolutely nothing compares to playing a live show. We decided that considering our affinity for performing, it was only right that we do a live album." commented bassist Pat Kays.

New Jersey’s most successful ska-punk combo, Catch 22, was formed in the fall of 1996 when founding members Chris Greer, Ryan Eldred, and Kevin Gunther set out to play a genre of music that quickly became a huge national trend. Through the years the band has changed a few members but the attitude has stayed the same. "Putting out good music and having tons of people around the world singing and dancing at shows is the most important thing to us," commented singer Ryan. The band relentlessly toured for years in support of albums like “Keasbey Nights”, “Alone in a Crowd” and “Washed Up And Through The Ringer”, and are one of the best-selling bands on Victory. Catch 22 toured with bands like Suicide Machines, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish and Pennywise, among many others, and have returned the favor by offering to help younger bands on their way up. In addition to headlining Victory Records Tour 2002, Sum 41, Bowling For Soup and Thursday opened for Catch 22 when they were unknown nationally.

"Catch 22 Live" packs a wallop, with 21 songs, three music videos and some highly entertaining behind the scenes footage. If you are interested in doing show previews, features, interviews, or show reviews for this great band, please get in touch as soon as possible.
