SALMON

Salmon was an instrumental group formed in September 2004 by Perth/Sydney rocker Kim Salmon (The Scientists, Beasts of Bourbon, Kim Salmon and the Surrealists), in which Kim played guitar and a sampler. After recording in 2004 and later playing live, the band released one album, Rock Formations, containing half studio tracks and half live versions.
