Last Dinosaurs Celebrate 10 Years of ‘WELLNESS’ with Australian Tour
If the names ‘Apollo’ and ‘Wurl’ evoke memories of sun-soaked dance floors and memorable festival experiences, you’re in for a treat this winter. The beloved Brisbane band, Last Dinosaurs, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of their critically acclaimed album WELLNESS with a national tour across Australia this June.
As part of this anniversary celebration, the band will also release a newly updated version of WELLNESS, titled WELLNXSS, scheduled for launch on February 13 via Nettwerk. This fresh reinterpretation showcases the band’s evolution while honoring the original’s spirit.
Anniversary Tour and New Music
Last Dinosaurs are set to take fans on a nostalgia trip by revisiting WELLNESS in its entirety during their anniversary tour. The band will be joined by the talented Bad Suns as their supporting act, offering music enthusiasts an unforgettable concert experience. The East Coast shows are confirmed for June, promising to deliver the upbeat synths and jangly guitars that fans have cherished from the past decade.
The Evolution of ‘WELLNESS’
Originally launched in 2015, WELLNESS marked a significant turning point for Last Dinosaurs. Guitarist Sean Caskey reflects on the album’s impact, recalling a time when he perceived it as a ‘bit of a failure.’ However, with a decade of hindsight, he now views it as a catalyst for their unique DIY approach to music-making. It pushed the band to embrace independence, uploading lo-fi demos on platforms like youtube, recording their music in-house, and trusting their instincts. This creative freedom laid the groundwork for their future work, including their subsequent album, Yumeno Garden.
Since their emergence during Brisbane’s indie scene in the early 2010s, Last Dinosaurs has achieved remarkable success. The band has accumulated tens of millions of streams, graced the stages of notable festivals such as Lollapalooza and Corona Capital, and supported renowned acts like Florence + The Machine and Foster The People, all while retaining their distinctive euphoric sound.
