Kim Salmon

Kim Salmon is a renowned and influential Australian indie rock musician and songwriter. He is most noted for his work with The Scientists, and later with the Beasts of Bourbon, Kim Salmon and the Surrealists and Kim Salmon And The Business. Salmon's work in the 1980s was influential in the development of grunge music, first recognised around Seattle, USA, before impacting on popular music in the early 1990s through bands such as Nirvana and Soundgarden. The Scientists relied on unorthodox bass-heavy rhythms and distorted guitars, the latter being a direct precursor for grunge.

The Spoils

A band from Melbourne, Australia, playing a rock/gypsy/circus/caberet style (with lashings of folk/country) that might be likened to Mikelangelo and the Black Sea Gentlemen crossed with Nick Cave, sprinkled with a bit of Paul Kelly and Marlene Dietrich.

Epidemic...over

With a name like EPIDEMIC…OVER, one can be forgiven for any preconceived conceptions of the bands sound. After all, a lot of today’s bands have names that immediately create ideas as to what genre they are. In E…O’s case, expectations are dissolved the second the first note is struck. To be put simply, it’s the music that defines the name. Reigning from Central Queensland Australia, EPIDEMIC…OVER are a promising, energetic four piece combining hard hitting guitars and emotional vocals held together by a tight and driving rhythm section.
