UK group active from 1966 to the present day. The group dabbled in freakbeat, mod and psych pop. They began life as The Midnite Blues and were spotted at the 100 Club in London's Oxford Street by Tokenam Aw. He became their manager and changed the groups name to Katch 22.
Three members of the group eventually joined Paintbox.

In 2011 Cherry Red Records / RPM re-mastered and re-released their complete back catalogue of all the singles and L.P. "It's Soft Rock and Allsorts, It's Katch 22". Included on this compilation C.D. were some rare BBC Radio One archive recordings.
On the strength of this new interest, the original songwriting team of Paul Bonner and Mike Eastman, got together, and have recorded three new albums in 2015, 2016, and 2019.
