Kim Salmon & The Surrealists

Kim Salmon & the Surrealists were formed in Perth by Kim Salmon in mid-1987, with Brian Hooper on bass and Tony Pola on drums. Salmon formed the band to record the album Hit Me With The Surreal Feel, using minimalist lo-fi approaches to recording a basic trio: recording the band live with microphones around the studio capturing the entire sound, rather than one instrument per track. The recording and mixing cost was AUD$240 total. The band also played live around Perth in mid-1987. The album was released in October 1988. Read more on Last.fm
