Little River Band (LRB) are a rock band formed in Melbourne, Australia, in March 1975. They achieved commercial success in both Australia and the United States, selling more than 30 million records. Six of their studio albums reached the top 10 on the Australian Kent Music Report albums chart, including Diamantina Cocktail (April 1977) and First Under the Wire (July 1979), both of which peaked at number two. Nine singles reached the top 20 on the Australian singles chart, with “Help Is on Its Way” (1977) becoming their only number‑one hit. In the United States, ten singles entered the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, with “Reminiscing” peaking highest at number three. Little River Band have received numerous music awards in Australia. The 1976 lineup—Glenn Shorrock, Graeham Goble, Beeb Birtles, George McArdle, David Briggs and Derek Pellicci—was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame at the 18th annual ARIA Music Awards in 2004. Much of the group’s 1970s and 1980s material was written by Goble and/or Shorrock, Birtles and Briggs. In May 2001, the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) named “Cool Change”, written by Shorrock, as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all time. “Reminiscing”, written by Goble, received a 5‑Million Broadcast Citation from BMI in 2020. The band has undergone extensive personnel changes, with more than 30 members passing through its ranks since 1975, including John Farnham, who became lead singer after Shorrock’s departure in 1982.
