KIM SALMON'S SMOKED SALMON + special guests @ Link and Pin!
About
PRESS PLAY PRESENTS: 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 50 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.
SPECIAL GUESTS: THE CANNANES
Legendary Australian indie-pop scrappers The Cannanes have been quietly influencing underground music for decades with their sharp songwriting, DIY spirit and glorious offbeat charm. Formed in Sydney in 1984, the band has built an international cult following through relentless touring, iconic indie releases and collaborations with some of the world’s great underground labels and artists.
Jangly, funny, political, catchy and completely their own thing, The Cannanes are one of Australia’s true cult bands and absolutely magic live. It's been 15 years to the month since The Cannanes' last show with Kim Salmon, and this rare pairing of indie/underground giants is a Link & Pin Woy Woy exclusive. Don't miss this intimate gig!
