[edit] History

universities during Orientation Week. In early 1987, Callaghan revived The Riptides for a reunion tour to help celebrate ten years of Brisbane pop culture. The line-up comprised Mark Callaghan, Andrew Leitch, Michael Hiron and Buzz Bidstrup. The reunion tour produced the double live album, Riptides Resurface which came out in December 1987. The Riptides toured again in February 1988 with Callaghan, Leitch, Hiron and J.J. Harris (drums; ex-Divinyls).

Callaghan and Hiron revived The Riptides again for successful summer tours during 1989 and 1990, with Brisbane's John Willsteed (ex-Go Betweens) and J.J. Harris. In early 1991, Callaghan and Hiron entered the studio with new guitarist Tony Adams, session drummer John James (J.J.) Hackett (ex-Mondo Rock) and South-African-born producer/ drummer Ricky Fataar (ex-Beach Boys) to record the first full-length Riptides studio album. Wave Rock appeared in August 1991 and produced the singles "Stop (Don't Start)" in May 1991 and "Here Comes the Sun" in August 1991. Neil Chadwick joined as a permanent drummer and The Riptides toured once again.

In March 2001 Michael Hiron passed away suddenly. In July 2001 Callaghan played a tribute gig to Michael, in Brisbane, with other artists who had worked with and loved Michael.

Without Hiron, Callaghan put together a new lineup of the Riptides for the "Pig City" Festival on July 14, 2007 (Mark Callaghan, Cal Callaghan on guitar, Mark O'Connor on keyboards, and Cal's fellow Gang bandmates Chris Bailey on bass and Buzz Bidstrup on drums. They performed a classic set that showed why they still remain one of Brisbane's great bands.[1][2]
