LAST DINOSAURS
Despite coming up in Australia, indie rock band Last Dinosaurs are an international enterprise
and have the track record to prove it. Brothers Lachlan and Sean Caskey, along with Michael
Sloane, have played sold-out headlining shows and festivals across the US, UK, Europe,
Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Australia. The success of studio albums In a Million Years,
Wellness, Yumeno Garden, From Mexico With Love, and KYORYU have taken them around the
world and back, playing notable festivals like Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, All Things Go Festival,
and more alongside artists like Florence + the Machine, Bad Suns, Foals, Matt & Kim, Foster the
People, Vacations, and more.
2024 was a landmark year for Last Dinosaurs. After the release of their ambitious cyberpunkinspired concept album KYORYU, alongside a world-building companion manga comic, the Dinos
shared the Yumeno Garden Alternate Versions EP. The project shed light on classic songs from
their 2018 album, Yumeno Garden, featuring international artists they’ve toured with, including
Grrrl Gang, Isla De Caras, Oh! Flamingo, Diamante Eléctrico and more. After traveling the world
several times, touring North America, Southeast Asia, and beyond, the Dinos made their
triumphant debut in South America, performing in Brazil, Peru, Argentina, and Chile.
Now, in 2025, Last Dinosaurs are proud to announce a reimagined and re-recorded version of
their album, Wellness. Alongside five previously unreleased songs, they unveil Wellnxss, set for
release on February 13th via Nettwerk.
Member Sean Caskey reflects: “Ten years ago, Lach, Sloane, Dan, and I released our sophomore
album ‘WELLNESS!’ It was the second chance for four boys from Brisbane State High to make
another leap in the music world. I used to look back on this album as a bit of a failure, as there
was so much pressure to follow up ‘In a Million Years,’ but now I see it as the catalyst for the way
we make music today. It forced us to completely change our approach to recording music by
doing it all ourselves. This was after we dropped the demos on YouTube; the reaction to those lofi recordings was a massive surprise to us. That really inspired us to have more confidence in our
own abilities and was the driving force behind ‘Yumeno Garden.’ We’re so thankful to our fans,
because it’s your positive energy that motivates us to keep pushing ourselves in the direction we
need to go.
These days, Wellness seems to be one of our fan favourites. We never used to play ‘Apollo’ live,
but a few years later, it became one of the most enjoyable songs to play. We get requests to play
a lot of the songs from Wellness, so we try to squeeze them into the set wherever we can. It
means a lot to us that these songs mean something to you. I’ve dwelled on them a lot lately, and
some other songs from that same era that never made the album, and we’re looking forward to
showing you some special records soon.”
