Despite coming up in Australia, indie rock band, Last Dinosaurs would say they're an
international enterprise – and they’ve got a 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, and From Mexico With Love, 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, and more.
In 2023, the Dinos continued to enthrall audiences with high-energy live performances in
bigger and bigger venues. They shared the stage with labelmates Vacations on a
successful co-headlining North American Tour dubbed 'TOURZILLA.' At the same time,
they continued their story, with the cryptic new release RYU. Like a transmission from
another dimension, Lach, Sean, and Sloane embark on a cosmic adventure through time
and space.
Sean Caskey explains RYU’s premise: “The year is 3023. The artificial intelligence
revolution has been fought, won, and lost. The earth is blanketed with debris from
previous civilizations’ satellites and space junk. The most powerful AI satellite runs
critically low in battery, and in its dying months, reprograms its protocols. It now functions
as an ancient style radio station, generating music based on algorithms it learnt from the
previous civilization. RYU is a collection of transmissions intercepted from this satellite.”
2024 proves to be even bigger for the Dinos as they plan to conclude the story with KYO,
a companion release written by Lachlan Caskey. Themes of selfishness and egocentrism
serve as a warning sign from the future to the present.
Stay tuned for more from Last Dinosaurs…



In addition to headlining tours, the band has opened for international acts such as Foals, Matt & Kim, Los Valentinos and Foster the People, playing festivals including Splendour In the Grass, Laneway, Falls Festival, and Field Day to name a few.

Despite coming so far already, Last Dinosaurs is only just getting started.
