Guitarist with Ian Rilen and the Love Addicts - one of the most underrated, raw and real bands to appear on Australian stages in the last 30 years - hes also had three stints filling his late ex-band leaders bass spot in X.Volkmans played with many lesser-known bands - including his own very good Whiskey Priests. Unlike Justin Bieber, hes never had notable success. Thats probably a good thing in Kims case - on his own admission, it might have killed him.Kim Volkmans childhood was scarred by abuse, hes had a couple of runs of smack addiction. Hes been a functioning alcoholic, ridden out a number of car crash relationships and, of course, has lived, eaten and breathed rock and roll.Musics been both his salvation and his downfall, at times. Even being a \"rock star\" in a relatively small pool (that would be Melbourne) brings pressures to live up to the name. If catharsis is character building, Kim Volkman is one of Australias most resilient characters.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41773253328993,"sku":"2090405346764","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12664424_1318211.jpg?v=1722975142","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/2090405346764-the-devil-wont-take-charity","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
