The Songwriters' Club is ecstatic to welcome the inimitable Kim Salmon into the fold. Not content to rest on his past laurels and in his 39th year of performing music, Salmon is busier than ever - in the last three years alone he's released albums with Spencer P Jones, Ron Peno and the acclaimed punk rock primitivism of True West with Scientist's tub thumper Leanne Cowie. In 2015 he will release a solo album which he has been working on with producer Myles Mumford. Kim Salmon's most enduring legacy, and not one that he particularly tried for, will no doubt be that many blame him, or at least his band the Scientists, for 'grunge'. Kim's given up resisting. He just figures 'where there's smoke there's fire'.

Kim began writing songs in Perth's first Punk band, The Cheap Nasties and has continued ever since with the Scientists, the Beasts of Bourbon, Kim Salmon and the Surrealists, The Business, STM, Antenna, The Darling Downs, SALMON, Precious Jules, Spencer P Jones and Leanne Cowie. His scope covers punk and garage, old school hard rock, avant garde, folk, blues jazz, electro, country and of course grunge. His lyrics are not confined to the narrative, but pretty much cover everything from abstract characterisations to just plain simple rhyming ditties.

Joining Kim on the evening will be The Originals - a three piece band comprising three distinct songwriters and three distinct voices and and storytelling troubadour Hamish Macleod
