Last Dinosaurs’ Melbourne show this week is completely sold out, but just in case you missed out the band have announced a much more sweeping set of national dates for April, including stopovers at regional centers and playing generally larger venues throughout most of Australia.

Last Dinosaurs Interview

Last year was a decent one for Brisbane band Last Dinosaurs. They recorded their debut album, played with some huge international bands, watched their songs accrue over a million views on Youtube, and toured a little bit as well. With the aforementioned debut album, ‘In A Million Years’, due for release within a month and a UK tour ahead, 2012 is poised pretty damn nicely for them as well. I had a chat with lead singer Sean Caskey ahead of the album launch tour, but mostly we just ended up talking about the past and the future.

Plus me and a mate. But, to their credit, the band really do look poised to make it big rather soon, and their latest single ‘Zoom’ demonstrates why perfectly.

The Essential EPs Of The Year

December 23, 2010 by Lachy 0 Comments

This will be my last end of year list, I promise. But when I was sorting out my favourite albums of the year, I realised that much of the music I have listened to this year has been in the form of EPs rather than albums, especially when it came to Australian music. I won’t […]
