Punk West #10: Kim Salmon

Kim Salmon‘s musical career has spanned nearly fifty years and he has been a prolific writer and performer over that time.

Never content to sit back and admire what he has done, he would rather see what he can do next. On this episode of Punk West, we speak to Kim about the early days playing covers six nights a week in a Fremantle strip club to playing in Perth’s first punk band the Cheap Nasties before moving onto the early days of The Scientists.

Punk West is an oral history of Perth’s punk scene. David Redding (Burn the Airwaves) talks to the scene’s stalwarts, stand-outs, and elder statespeople about the gigs, the bands, the venues, and the sounds.
