Little River Band was the first Australian band to successfully
conquer foreign markets from an Australian base. Within eight months
of their birth, LRB had already scored three Australian Top 20 singles
and two Top Ten albums. In 1976, after their self-titled debut album
was released in the USA, the long grind of 13 US tours in eight years
had begun. By 1982 they became the only act - from anywhere - to have
a top ten US single for six consecutive years. Headlining their own
major shows in America, and touring internationally with the likes of
the Doobie Brothers, Supertramp, America, Heart, Boz Scaggs, Fleetwood
Mac, and The Eagles was a huge learning curve that honed LRB into one
of the finest live bands in the world. Record success ran alongside -
total record sales around the world have eclipsed the 30 million
mark...16 hit singles by 1985, as well as gold, platinum, and
multi-platinum album sales awards. All-told LRB have notched up eight
top 10 singles in the US, where two of their songs, Reminiscing and
Lady, have more than 9 million radio plays between them. Sponsored by
