LAST DINOSAURS RE-WRITE HISTORY WITH REIMAGINED ALBUM WELLNXSS | HEADLINE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF ON FEB 15
NETTWERK
Beloved indie rockers, Last Dinosaurs, release Wellnxss, the reimagined version of their cherished 2015 album, Wellness; an album that has become a calling card for Dinos fans worldwide. Member Sean Caskey calls the release “the catalyst for the way we make music today.” Listen HERE.
This new reimagining is not just a celebration of all they’ve achieved; it’s also a chance for Sean, Lach, and Sloane to control their own destiny. With the original recordings tied up in an “in perpetuity” major-label deal, the Dinos used this as an opportunity to reclaim their music and re-record the album in its entirety, including five previously unreleased songs that will now be available for fans to discover. “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,” says Sean.
In addition to releasing Wellnxss, Last Dinosaurs are excited to take the stage in cities across North America, the UK, and their homeland of Australia! The tour kicks off with three dates in Canada on February 15th in Edmonton. After making their way to the United States, they’ll be joined by indie-R&B duo elmjack as they reach new markets like Tulsa, OK, Boulder, CO, and Asbury Park, NJ. Then the Dinos head across the pond for a two-night stay at the Garage in London, UK, on March 28th and 29th. Two of the Southern California dates in Santa Ana and Felton are already SOLD OUT, along with Night 1 in London! From there, they return to Australia for five shows in June across Torquay, Melbourne, Newcastle, Sydney, and Brisbane alongside Bad Suns.

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 cyberpunk-inspired 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.
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 lo-fi 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.”
