[edit] Band Biography

Air was founded in 1995, and had a hit with their first record Moon Safari, thanks to their hit single, the dreamy "Sexy Boy", and accompanying video which featured a stuffed gorilla. After that, Air has had more critical success than commerical success, though they've sold many songs to advertisements, particuarly the excellent song "Playground Love" (from The Virgin Suicides) which appeared in a popular spot for Levi's jeans. They've worked with many other musicians including The Moog Cookbook and Beck.
