kim salmon and the surrealists

  •  smoked salmon landscapeHmmm. Smells like Smoked Salmon. Artist supplied.

    Scientist and Surrealist Kim Salmon is one of those persistent, wilful artists who simply cannot stop.

    LA label In The Red will soon be releasing a reissue of the first Kim Salmon and The Surrealists LP, “Hit Me With the Surreal Feel”. This is the one you can never find. On top of that, would you believe a new Scientists live album? “The Definitive Article Live” was recorded at Brisbane's The Triffid back in 2017, with Kim, Boris Sujdovic, Tony Thewlis and the late, much missed Leanne Cowie.

    To whet your appetite, Kim has announced a brief but unique tour, combining personnel from both The Scientists and Surrealists. Surreal Science appears at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne on Friday April 10, followed by the Oxford Arts Factory in Sydney on Saturday April 11, and finally the Rosemount Hotel in Perth on the following Saturday, April 18.

    Since can't get to any of these gigs (and believe me, I'm gnashing my teeth and wondering if I could clone myself), I thought I should ask Mr Salmon a few questions to see what condition his condition was in.
