Some would say, destiny was at
Melbourne, Australia, in April of 1975. The two
young lads would meet for the very first time.
Englishman, Graham Russell and Australian, Russell
Hitchcock met as cast members in the stage
production Jesus Christ Superstar. Working closely
together, a friendship began to evolve. A friendship
that would prosper over the next 22 years. Their
similar passion for music, led Graham to share his
songs he had written, with Russell. As the
friendship grew, so did their incredible love for
music. The quest to follow their dreams had begun.
Settling for hardly any pay at local pubs, Graham
and Russell would continue to play their hearts out.
They found that their talents were accepted by the
small crowds in which began multiplying by the
numbers.
In 1976, Graham's dream came into existence. Air
Supply was born! The stage production ended and
magnificently, with a single already released in
Australia, Graham and Russell's moment came. They
set out on an adventure; to find success. Then in
1977, the album Love and Other Bruises was released.
The amazing talents of Air Supply brought one of
many successful songs, (composed by Graham) to the
Australian charts at # 2, "Love And Other
Bruises", which became a classic, then
"Empty Pages" at # 18. This was only the
beginning for Air Supply and to the fans around the
World. Immediately, the invitation for Air Supply to
tour with Rod Stewart, came. Not only in Australia,
but in the US and Canada.
