Biografie
Originally comprised of frontman Sean Caskey, his lead guitar playing brother Lachlan Caskey, and drummer Dan Koyoma, all of Last Dinosaur’s members were of Japanese descent prior to the arrival of bassist Sam Gethin-Jones. In 2007, during high school, Sean Caskey and Dan Koyama began playing music together, later inviting the younger Caskey and Gethin-Jones to complete the lineup. Following a few years of honing their skills, the group issued their debut EP in 2010 entitled “Back From The Dead”. Last Dinosaurs immediately found success after sending the demo to the radio broadcaster Triple J, who regularly played their hit “Honolulu”, raising the band’s profile considerably.
Last Dinosaurs subsequently played a host of the year’s music festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, and Southbound, as well as embarking on a “Back From the Dead” tour. To raise anticipation for the group’s debut, the band started an online blog documenting the recording process, before ultimately releasing “In a Million Years” in March 2012. Peaking at No. 8 on the Australian Albums chart, the record earned critical acclaim for its mature indie-pop aesthetic, led by the singles “Honolulu” and “Time & Place”. Following a successful headlining tour of Australia, the UK, and Europe, the group released the single “Evie” in 2015, taken from their sophomore album “Wellness”.

With all the dates of their Yumeno Garden tour sold out, Last Dinosaurs proved to fans old and new that their timelessness is not to be undermined.
Verses from ‘Non Lo So’ and ‘Forget About’ off Yumeno Garden were helped out by lead guitarist Lachlan, who lent his vocals for the dreamy duration of each track. (Notably, it seems there’s a gift in the Caskey family for all things music related.)
Yet, regardless of whether you have been listening to Last Dinosaurs from the beginning, you’d be easily struck by their references to bygone love. Coupled their dreamy melodies and striking guitar riffs, the lyrical laments of ‘Sense’ express the vulnerability of a breakup — a subject that could bring anyone to a standstill. For Last Dinosaurs, the emotions painted in this song were reflective of both old romances and their resilience as a band.
Much like the wholesome and harmonic vibes of the night, ‘Bass God’ found its peace with all by bringing everyone together to smile and groove in unison. With the shared sentiment of fallen love and chaotic first-world times, there was something for everyone listening.
Cue the encore and roars of utter enthusiasm, which saw a few punters even launching themselves up onto stage for a smooth serenade of ‘Apollo’.
And for those who were determined enough to remain at the merchandiss stand, they had the privilege of being able to meet the talented yet humble band — who, for those spectating, represented one sheer night of bliss.

I was lucky enough to catch Last Dinosaurs, an Indie Rock band from down under, when they played in Washington D.C. at DC LIVE. The venue was intimate and perfect for this mellow group of rockers.
They were playing songs from their new album In a Million Years, and my favorite was the catchy Time & Place. It was the type of show you could even bring your family to, nothing offensive whatsoever; just good, clean, fun music.
Despite their youth, Last Dinosaurs really knew how to rock out and get the crowd into it. The show was an emotional rollercoaster and I’d recommend that everyone see them in person if they get the chance. It’s the type of show that’s got something for everyone, as this group draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources and does justice to all of them.
Every single song they played in their set was amazingly catchy and well-produced, and it’s no wonder that they’re such a big hit both in their native Australia and internationally. The only downside is how long you’ll have all of their songs stuck in their head. Seriously, everyone absolutely must see this band if they get the chance.
Last Dinos were great live!!!! It was a pretty personal concert, and we were able to get really close to the stage and see the band up close. Crowd was wild - but that's that. They had really solid opening acts as well; The Jensens & Palms were all obviously incredibly talented. In summary, really worth it all SO PLEASE GO AHEAD, PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS AND SUPPORT THE BAND : )

They were absolutely incredible interacted with the fans and did so well. Definitely would suit a bigger venue.
I think that the venue staff were great and although the support act wasn't really to my taste they did well too.
Last Dinosaurs took two special requests and worked really well with the crowd there
Hope they come back ASAP

Caught them at OAF (Syd) a few months ago and I so vividly remember the feeling of pure bliss standing in the mosh. Probably the best Saturday night of my life.
