For nearly fifty years, he has performed on the world’s biggest stages and with the most remote punk bands; traversing every corner of music and art to create a body of work that stands up with the best. His latest band,** Smoked Salmon **is a concept, a collection of recordings, a collective, a philosophy of least resistance flowing from a reputation for resolutely going against the stream! Wait a minute! Least resistance? Against the stream? Here’s the clincher. You can do both!  Kim still has the desire to go upstream but has found a great source of new  repertoire fishing in the streams from whence such classics as **“Frantic Romantic”**, **“Last Night”**, **“Dropout”**, **“Come On Spring”** and **“Swampland” **sprang! They have toured Europe and Japan – combining classic moments from across his career with an album of brand-new original songs in 2025 and the follow up ***Totally Sick!!*** coming May 29 2026.
