Kyoryu (Vinyl)
Despite coming up in Australia, indie rock band, Last Dinosaurs would say they’re an international enterprise – and they’ve got a track record to prove it. Brothers Lachlan and Sean Caskey, along with Michael Sloane have played sold-out headlining shows and festivals across the globe. The success of studio albums, In a Million Years, Wellness, Yumeno Garden, and From Mexico With Love, 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, and more.
In 2023, the Dinos continued to thrill audiences with high-energy live performances in bigger and bigger venues, whist at the same time, they continued their story, with the cryptic new EP RYU. Like a transmission from another dimension, Lach, Sean, and Sloane embark on a cosmic adventure through time and space.
Now the Dinos have dropped their second EP KYO, that will ultimately complete the project KYO // RYU.
The names KYO // RYU are taken from Sean and Lach’s middle names – Ryusuke and Kyohei.
Coincidentally, KYORYU is Japanese for DINOSAUR.
