Last Dinosaurs

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”.
