RECALIBRATE: New Line-Up

Recalibrate is re-emerging in 2024 with lots of new material and new bass player Andrew Mortensen, from Serious Beak, Kurushimi, Slimey Things and many other progressive and experimental bands. Alex and I can’t wait to bring this new trio on a small run of shows around NSW:

09 Feb 2024 | Wollongong | Servo Food Truck Bar | w/ Svntax Error, Your Loving Tyrant
10 Feb 2024 | Sydney | The Townie | w/ Rocket Head
23 Feb 2024 | Woy Woy | Link and Pink | w/ Svntax Error
14 Mar 2024 | Sydney | Lazybones | w/ Dave Carr’s Fabulous Contraption

RECALIBRATE: Name Change

Recalibrate is the new name for my trio with Alex O’Toole and Simeon Bartholomew, formerly known as No Mandate. The band is older than Covid and was named before people started shouting about vaccine and mask mandates. We’d played about 35 shows and made two albums under the name No Mandate, but felt the step was necessary to avoid being associated with this toxic debate. Some links have changed: Bandcamp | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube

RECALIBRATE: “Recalibrate” Album

The debut album by my trio with Alex O’Toole and Simeon Bartholomew is out now. Our music is energetic and progressive. The album is out on Bandcamp as well as all the other digital platforms. We also made two video clips:

Recalibrate | Nothing to Declare
