Kim Salmon. Art School dropout, seminal punk rocker, and living legend.
Born into the isolation of the semi-industrial wastelands of 1950s outer suburban Perth, Kim Salmon clawed his way out of the swamp and onto the world stage in his bands, the Scientists, the Surrealists, and the Beasts of Bourbon.
Often referred to as “The Godfather of Grunge” he is cited as a seminal influence on countless bands including Mudhoney, Nirvana, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, The White Stripes, Sonic Youth, The Drones and Spacemen 3. Internationally acclaimed, Kim Salmon has played with the likes The Stooges, Television, Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds, The Cramps, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, The Pop Group and even U2.
Kim Salmon is not slowing down. Tours, new records, new bands, art exhibitions – there is much to discover in the kingdom of Salmon. Come to Hybrid Warehouse to hear Kim Salmon in conversation and song – in particular talking about his new single ‘How did they ever manage’.
