AIR SUPPLY INVITES FANS TO THEIR 35TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AT SEA!
Releasing Their Odds On Records Debut ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ In Early 2010, The ‘80s Hitmaking Duo Creates ‘The Ultimate Fan Experience’ And Will Perform With John Waite, Christopher Cross And Others On Royal Caribbean’s “Liberty Of The Seas” October 31-November 7

Air Supply is planning an ultra romantic musical voyage next fall—and you’re invited!

In celebration of their 35th year as a duo, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock are creating “the ultimate fan experience” with a seven-day Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s “Liberty Of The Seas” October 31-November 7, 2010.

The 80’s hitmakers, who are set to release their highly anticipated Odds On Records debut Mumbo Jumbo early in the year, invites devoted fans and special guests to join them for this spectacular week onstage and at sea.

The ship sets sail from Miami for three spectacular ports of call: St. Maarten, San Juan, Puerto Rico and Royal Caribbean’s private island.

“Rather than just having a fan club meeting at a hotel to commemorate this very special anniversary, we thought a cruise to the Caribbean would be much more exciting,” says Graham Russell.

Russell Hitchcock adds, “We would love all of our fans to come and share this occasion with us, along with some very special musical guests. This will be a once in a lifetime experience and we want to see you there!”

The duo will perform two shows during the week and host concerts featuring special guests *Christopher Cross, John Waite and others each night of the excursion. There will also be a Halloween party opening night, and fans are invited to wear costumes!

During the days at sea, there will be a variety of exclusive events to keep everyone excited and offer fans a sense of intimacy with the duo that they can’t find anywhere else. These include autograph sessions, intimate Q&As and get-togethers with fans and other special surprise activities.

Beyond the Air Supply happenings, those on board will enjoy all the amenities that Royal Caribbean has to offer.

SOFT ROCK HIT-MAKING DUO AIR SUPPLY STEALS THE SCENE IN TV COMMERCIAL FOR DISNEY’S LATEST FILM ‘OLD DOGS’ STARRING JOHN TRAVOLTA & ROBIN WILLIAMS AS SETH GREEN CREATES MONKEY BUSINESS WITH THEIR CLASSIC HIT ‘I’M ALL OUT OF LOVE’

Years after dominating the pop charts with their romantic perennials, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock of Air Supply are still making fans of all species fall in love. Released on the eve of Thanksgiving, Disney’s new movie “Old Dogs” with a star-studded cast including John Travolta, Robin Williams, Matt Dillon and Seth Green, features a trailer (movie-speak for TV commercial to promote a film) with Air Supply’s 80’s hit “I’m All Out Of Love" as the punch line. The commercial has become a favorite online as well as on the TV talk show circuit where the clip has been previewed by such closeted Air Supply fans as Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel.

The attention-grabbing scene in the commercial is set in a zoo where Travolta, Williams and Green inadvertently end up inside a guerilla enclosure where Green is unable to escape. Despite the dreaded outcome, he unexpectedly sings a lullaby to the creature with the timeless classic “I’m All Out of Love” to save himself from being harmed. Green carries on belting out lyrics to calm the beguiling creature, creating a hysterical moment for audiences. Click here to see the movie trailer on YouTube.

Explains Air Supply’s Graham Russell, “I think because our music is known to be so passionate and heartfelt, the lyrics are actually being used in the plot-lines of films and commercials, sometimes to break the tension with comic relief. We like that much better than simply being used as background music. We really get a kick out of it!”

“Humor aside, it’s an honor to have our music included in a movie trailer associated with such admirable award-winning actors,” adds Russell Hitchcock of the song-making duo.

Air Supply’s music is no stranger to adding to plot lines. In “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” released in 2005, the classic tune “Making Love Out Of Nothing At All” makes a cameo as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt also attempt to escape a dangerous situation. And who can forget the widely seen Carl’s Jr. commercial with the hilarious Air Supply burger?

Air Supply is currently on a worldwide tour and gearing up for their new album Mumbo Jumbo and 35th anniversary in 2010. For the latest tour information, visit www.airsupplymusic.com.
