Smoked Salmon

w' New Nausea

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**.

**Kim Salmon** has earned his reputation as an authentic artist incapable of choosing the safe road. For nearly fifty years, he has performed on the world's biggest stages and with the most remote punk bands; traversing every corner of music and art to create a body of work that stands up with the best.

His latest band, **Smoked Salmon** is a concept, a collection of recordings, a collective, a philosophy of least resistance flowing from a reputation for resolutely going against the stream! Wait a minute! Least resistance? Against the stream? Here’s the clincher. You can do both! Kim still has the desire to go upstream but has found a great source of new repertoire fishing in the streams from whence such classics as "Frantic Romantic", "Last Night", "Dropout", "Come On Spring" and "Swampland" sprang!

They have toured Europe and Japan - combining classic moments from across his career with an album of brand-new original songs in 2025 and a follow up ‘Totally Sick’ coming May 29 2026.
