Talk:Kim Salmon

earlier comments
The term 'grunge' having Australian origins relates to comments made by a number of musicians including Mark Arm (Mudhoney): "'Obviously, I didn't make that up. I got it from someone else. The term was already being thrown around in Australia in the mid-'80s to describe bands like King Snake Roost, the Scientists, Salamander Jim, and Beasts of Bourbon. In fact, Tex Perkins was crowned the High Priest of Grunge in some local magazine. If anybody said that to him then, he would beat the shit out of them. I guess the only difference was that in Seattle we kind of took to it' (Black Eye Records Jukebox)."

'Grunge' was the descriptive noun that Kim Salmon used for the sound that his band 'The Scientists' made way back in nineteen eighty one. All the ingredients for this sound had existed separately, but The Scientists quite clearly were the first to combine them by quite a few years. Like the inventors of the wheel and the hamburger, not to mention a good many devices credited to the likes of Thomas Edison, the real inventors have gone largely unacknowledged allowing others to prosper. The Scientists did manage to do more than give the world 'grunge'. Their twisted blend of primal blues, sonic experimentalism, and smart 'dumb rock' still echoes through such luminaries as 'Boss Hog' and 'The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion'. 

Another intresting article on the origin of the term 'grunge' can be found in an article by the Age Newspaper

I hope this helps clarifying the comments in the article Dan arndt 08:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Considering the early Scientists sounded identical to the Cramps a few years later, the Cramps may have first dibs ;-) The term was indeed used quite a bit in Australia in the mid-'80s - David Gerard 16:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

omission of the Surrealists
There is a major error in this article. It skips from The Scientists to Kim Salmon and the Business without mentioning Kim's other band Kim Salmon and the Surrealists. 118.165.182.201 (talk) 12:04, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I also noticed this problem. It leaves a huge gap in the article, although the Surrealists are covered in another article.Davidreid (talk) 00:19, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Kim Salmon's Fame
Kim was "famous" about 26 years prior to being inducted into the WAMI hall of fame. the WAMI hall of fame did not make him famous or more famous than he already was. I find the assertion (mistaken or not) that he, especially as it starts his Wiki page, "attained fame in June 2004, when he was inducted into the West Australian Music Industry Association Hall of Fame" to be a little demeaning to someone with as rich a history as Kim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.212.4.100 (talk) 03:22, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
