THE SCIENTISTS
Early Australian post-punk band whose sound prefigured grunge by a decade. To look at the career of Scientists is, in essence, to look at the career of Kim Salmon, one of the most vibrant musical talents to emerge from Australia in the 1970s. Not that he was the only one. Nick Cave, for example, may have made more of a splash outside of the country, but Salmon is arguably just as important -- if not more influential. The proto-grunge they were cooking up in the late '70s/early '80s prefigured the music groups like Mudhoney, the Spacemen 3, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion would be cranking out a decade later. Salmon's first group, formed in 1976, was the Cheap Nasties -- which already gives some indication of his distinctive "trash" aesthetic (à la the Trashmen, the Ramones, etc.). The Nasties were the first punk band to emerge from the remote city of Perth in Western Australia. Salmon claimed they really weren't much good, but they did give birth to the Perth punk scene, from which many of Australia's finest musicians would emerge. When the Nasties came to an end the following year, Salmon went on to join the Invaders. Scientists rose from the ashes of this (also unrecorded) band in 1978. The lineup included Salmon on guitar and vocals, Boris Sujdovic on bass, Rod Radalj on guitar, and James Baker, from the Victims, on drums and penning the lyrics. Membership in Scientists would mutate several times over the years (Dennis Byrne, for instance, would soon assume bass duties).
