LAST DINOSAURS ANNOUNCE 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF WELLNESS TOUR
There is such a timeless sense of euphoria threaded within the DNA of LAST DINOSAURS’ catalogue - it is one that has held strong with fans in Australia and beyond, with international audiences clamouring for the trio’s unmistakable sound for well over a decade.
Across five exemplary studio albums, LAST DINOSAURS have shown their desire to keep pushing themselves creatively, playing with sound and influence that represents a truly diverse bed of influences. This year, the band is gearing up to celebrate ten years of their second project WELLNESS, announcing a special tenth anniversary tour of the Australian East Coast this June.
To mark the occasion, LAST DINOSAURS are releasing a special rework of the album, titled WELLNXSS; an opportunity for fans to reconnect with this material through a new lens.Of the release, band member Sean Caskey comments, “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 [2012 debut] 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 [2018’s] 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.”
Featuring tracks including ‘Apollo’ and ‘Wurl’, WELLNESS remains a stunning entry in the LAST DINOSAURS catalogue and will be sure to light up dance floors once more when the band takes it on the road this Winter.
