Kim Salmon‘s new outfit SMOKED SALMON have announced a national tour to promote their forthcoming self-titled debut album, which is out February 28 on Cheersquad. As per dates below, the tour will span March and the first 2 weeks of April and will take in Perth, Freo, Margaret River, Castlemaine, Canberra, Wollongong, Sydney, Newcastle, Geelong, Brisbane, Gold coast, Bangalow and Adelaide before finishing back in Melbourne.
The announcement follows the launch of the video for “Hell in a Handbasket”, which is the second single from the forthcoming album. “Hell in a Handbasket” debuted at #2 on the AIR 100% Independent Singles follows previous single “How Did they Ever Manage” which debuted at #1 on the chart in September.
Backseat Mafia’s Arun Kendall said of the first single: “Salmon’s ‘How Did They Ever Manage’ is an incredibly satisfying wry and visceral slice of grunge pop that slices and dices the febrile air with its glam stomp and sardonic pop delivery. It’s excoriating and vital, slightly chaotic with a buzzsaw spine and a pulse.”
SMOKED SALMON is the latest project for the Scientists/Beasts of Bourbon/Beasts co-founder member and internationally revered avant-garde artrocker Kim Salmon.
