air supply not yet all out of love with talk of new album

Russell Hitchcock no longer wants to hear the word \"soft rock\" with his band Air Supply. The Australian-
The born singer will not detonate a fuse when it comes to his band with guitarists and singers --
In 1975, the voice of the songwriter Graham Russell was obvious.
\"I really don\'t like to see it printed out,\" Hitchcock said during a short break before an Air Supply concert in Minneapolis.
\"We are not metal bands, nor are we Peter, Paul, and Mary, but our performances are loud, vibrant and energetic.
To be honest, I never fully understood what it meant;
I hated it even before I started the music industry.
\"Hitchcock has been flirting with the music industry for years until he met Russell in the production of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1975.
Australia almost immediately felt good about their native boys, and for the first time in the coming year they were hit by love and other bruises,, the recognition of the two by the international community and the circle lineup of musicians playing with them have not been recognized.
It was not until 1980 that they finally hit the United States. S.
But most of the rest of the world is also shattered by AM radio, like Lost in Love, all love is gone, due to the constant use on TV, these songs will always be in supermarkets and elevators.
These hits continued in the early to mid-80 years, mainly songs with the word \"love\", but even if there was no radio support in the subsequent years, the two continue to fight with the help of a very dedicated fan base.
They never broke up or threatened to retire, and they were even hesitating to talk about the new album, their first album since the 21st century 10 s.
We talked to Hitchcock about the early days of the band, the possibility of a new record, and an unexpected encounter with Robert Plante.
Q: You may not like to use the word \"soft rock\" to describe the role of air supply, but the band was definitely a mild group in the tough behavior of the time.
A: We released our first album in Australia during AC/DC, Angel and Midnight Oil.
They were some very aggressive viewers and we went there in a white suit and afros to play lovelorn.
We were blocked by critics, but the bottom line was that people liked our recordings and bought them through truck loads.
Over the years, I \'ve met some people who were not kind to us in the early days, and it\'s always good because well, I\'m still here.
Q: Was there any friendship between Australian bands at that time? A: of course.
We will meet people from Bon Scott and AC/DC or travel on trains in Japan with people from INXS.
I \'ve known Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil, not as a close friend, but I \'ve known him since then and things are not competitive.
Everyone is grateful for playing music on the road.
Now, if you dress in some way, some people think you\'re not cool enough.
This has become a gap in the industry, but it is sad because it is such a small industry.
Q: I know you have had some pleasant contact with other rock stars who appreciate what you have done.
A: I think it was in India in 95 years. we won an award.
We played a cricket stadium for the VH1 India Award and the others present included Robert Plante, who sang with Roger Taylor and Brian May (of Queen).
Brian Adams and Macarena\'s and some other shows are there.
I was walking from the dressing room when I saw plants talking to some reporters.
Now, I am a fan. plants are a legend;
As I walked by, he apologized to the reporter, introduced himself to me and said it was a pleasure to meet you.
He was lovely in the past and now, not selfish at all.
He just likes and enjoys good music of any kind.
Q: Your last album, Mumbo Jumbo, was released in 2010.
Any plans to go back to the studio and follow it: Well, we \'ve been posting songs online again and again since Mumbo Jumbo, but in fact we have an album --
Big projects are coming soon.
We just did an online thing for the fans because we thought we couldn\'t play the new material on the radio anymore.
Graham and I have some good friends in Los Angeles. A.
On the radio, we \'ve known them for 20 or 30 years, and whenever we sing them new songs, they always say, \"that\'s great, but people don\'t want to hear something new from you, they want to hear the voice Lost in Love and Sweet Dreams. ” That p—
Because the quality of the material has never deteriorated, I am very angry.
I can\'t speak for Graham, but at some point I\'m starting to think you can\'t fight Town Hall.
Let it go.
After all, I still have this wonderful career.
Q: So you still like what I do.
A passenger on a flight from Atlanta once asked me this question and I said I like acting but I don\'t necessarily like to get up at 6 in the morning. m. for a flight. (Laughs)
I \'ve met musicians who are cynical about it, and usually they are.
My biggest problem is those who complain about having to play one of their songs.
Well, it offers you a way of life and a career that people who support it should hear about.
You can\'t stop playing with it.
Q: In your case, you have a bunch of songs that will always be played at the wedding.
This is not a bad legacy. A: I know!
Also, after our first recording on 1976, I told Graham that our songs and sounds would be on the record, which surprised me.
I said one of the great things is that my voice is always there because of the greatness of my daughter --great-
Great grandchildren who heard it.
This is an achievement.
