Last Dinosaurs

Names (L to R): Sean Caskey, Michael Sloane, Lachlan Caskey

Hometown: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

First kiss:

Sean: Dizzy

Michael: After school

Lachlan: Revelational. It revealed things.

Favorite teachers at school:

Sean: Mr. Robertson. He was cool but I’ll say he used to trip over a lot in class all the time. And I just found that really funny. And I was one of the best students in the class so I didn’t get in trouble.

Michael: In primary school, Miss Ryan. She was no bullshit and she was really nice.

Lachlan: Mr. McMahon, English teacher but really passionate. He left an impression on all of us.

Put one of your songs in a high school movie: "Eleven" in Dunston Checks In when he’s just going crazy and destroys the hotel.

What you'd write on each other's jerseys:

Lachlan: Arsehole

Michael: Draw a dick

Yumeno Garden

Oct. 1, 2024

Yumeno Garden by Last Dinosaurs

Rating: 10/10

Best Track: Forget About

Worst Track: N/A

This time, we’re throwing it back to 2018 – not quite back to the time of the last dinosaurs, but definitely a fantastic year for one of my favorite bands. This is one of my all-time favorite records (a limited re-pressing of the vinyl was also announced which is a big deal for me) and I’m so excited to share it with you.

This indie rock band from Brisbane, Australia’s name was inspired by the song “Last Dinosaur” by Japanese rock band The Pillows. Admittedly, I have not listened to this song yet but trust me - it is on my never-ending to do list. This album is the band’s third release and notably was entirely self-produced! What could have been a risky choice really paid off. The songs all exist within the same sonic realm without becoming repetitive. It’s full of infectious riffs, quirky synths, and is truly such a joy to listen to!

I’m extremely impressed by the carefully crafted lyrics. Take the song “Happy” for example. What could have been a song plagued with cliches is instead an earnest and poignant work of art. “Sense” is another example – an incredibly nuanced song about past love. It was challenging to pick my favorite track on the album, but I chose “Forget About” because of the chorus. Of all the songs on the album that chorus sticks with me long after the album finishes and I’ll catch myself singing it to myself hours later.

This is a front to back, no skips album and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do! I would also highly recommend you check out their single “FMU”, their debut album “In A Million Years”, and their most recent release “KYORYU”.  <3

Good morning. It's Finals Week and I awoke early only to find that I could not fall back to sleep because I had a song stuck in my head, but couldn't remember the band or lyrics only part of the melody and a catchy guitar riff. And my brain would. Not. Let. Me. Not figure out what it was.

So first I spent 15 minutes scrolling through my YT Music History because I'm a weirdo that only made, like, 3 playlists and everything else is just Radio of Whatever Sounds Like What I Normally Listen To; but also it's mostly the Lofi I play for students so it's pretty inundated with that. I tried listening to clips of any song that had an unfamiliar band name (a mistake, actually) or title. No luck.

Then I awkwardly did that thing where you ask a person (my husband) if they know a song that goes like

Da na na na na Na na na NA

Da na na Na na na Na na NAA

.... something something da na

But he didn't recognize it either, and I assured him that I had the melody for the chorus SPOT ON because it had been playing on loop in my head for an hour now. He said the way I was singing the guitar part sounded like Mario Kart music.

So I grumbled about it and "da na na na NA na na-ed" at Google and Google was like, oh, it's Zoom by Last Dinosaurs. And I was like, no I don't think so? That doesn't sound right. I don't think Last Dinosaurs would play something this...anime OST sounding?

And it was, in fact, Zoom by Last Dinosaurs; a band headed by two half-Japanese Australian dudes, named after a song by The Pillows, a J-rock band famous for anime OSTs (among other music).

I had just... completely forgotten what they sound like I guess? Anyway, it's a cool song:

been watching the mv for N.P.D (many times) and something i just really appreciate (besides what i've been yelling about lol) is how visibly comfortable Lachlan has become in the frontman position like i remember him talking about after 'Yumeno Garden' where he sang a few songs for the first time Sean was like i need to step away from this position if we're gonna continue you're gonna have to do it for real and how he felt pressure (self-inflicted) to do well for his brother and the band and really come up with ideas and take the reins on the 'From Mexico...' album and idk it's just really really dope to be able to visually track that progress and see him putting on his version of the singer of LD with ease and a commanding presence in front of the camera and, moreover, watching him in this video kinda guiding Michael into that position in a way while Sean is there chillin as he should be after all these years cause he knows they've got it covered (and that he finally won in convincing Michael to sing bc he loves his voice) is so nice and cool like idk i just...... :))
