Air Supply

Air Supply is an Australian duo that began in Melbourne in 1975. They were formed by Graham Russell, an Englishman, and Russell Hitchcock, an Australian. From the beginning, they made music of soft rock and played songs that echoed simple, but deep emotions. Over time, they released more than 40 tracks, many of which reached the charts in several countries. Some stayed at the top of Australia, others in the United States, and others in Asia or Latin America.

They met in May 1975, when they were performing in a musical called Jesucristo Superstar, an Australian production. At that moment, they already had a style, although they still did not have the name that would identify them. What they did have was a voice that was understood, and a way of playing that allowed them to stand out. At the end of the musical, they stayed together and began to do things on their own.

More about Air Supply

Biography

Their first single was "Love and Other Bruises", which was released in November 1976. It reached number 6 in Australia. Afterwards, they released their first album, Air Supply, which came out in December. It was an album that sold a lot, to the point of receiving a Gold Disc in Australia. It was produced by Peter Dawkins, a producer who also worked with other artists. Although not all their tracks reached the top 40, their live work allowed them to tour the country and gain experience.

While they continued to grow, they started playing with other artists, such as Rod Stewart, who invited them to the United States. There they released another album, Love & Other Bruises, with some songs re-recorded. During the trip, there were changes in the band, but there was always a core: Russell and Hitchcock. Sometimes other musicians joined them, but what mattered was the way they complemented each other.
