New Video: Last Dinosaurs – Time & Place

Posted in Australian Artists, New releases, News, Video with tags , , , , , , on February 28, 2011 by keelykov

The beautifully shot video for Time & Place pits Brissy’s Last Dinosaurs against Andy Goldsworthy for the title of Ephemeral artist extraordinaire!

Time & Place, which isn’t linear in any sense but does have an amazingly awesome Dog/Bear in it, juxtaposes the natural Australian bush with the electronic revolution.

Last Dinosaurs – Honolulu

Posted in Festivals, News, Tours, Video with tags , on April 23, 2010 by keelykov

Check out the new video for that jaunty little tune Honolulu by Last Dinosaurs.

It makes me not want to eat eggs and to grow a beard, buy a hair brush and comb my beard with that very brush.

Like what you see? Well check out the boys as they hit a venue somewhere near you on their East coast tour leading up to Splendour In The Grass.

Posted in News, Tours with tags on April 7, 2010 by keelykov

Upstarts Last Dinosaurs are Back From The Dead, and they’re out to prove it, hauling arse up and down the East Coast this May and June.

Since beginning their touring year with a slot on Brisbane’s Laneway Festival and launching their debut release, EP “Back From The Dead” to a  sold out crowd at Brisbane’s Old Museum, Last Dinosaurs have been itching to get their show on the road.

The young guns will be making their way throughout regional Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria with special guests Neon Love by their side for most of the way.  They’ve even been considerate enough to throw in a few All Ages shows, planning to grace the stage at Come Together Festival in NSW, Sounds Loud Festival in Victoria (Sunday 11th April, Melbourne) and a Powerhouse show with the iconic Regurgitator in Brisbane.

Tickets are on sale now for Last Dinosaurs Back From The Dead Tour. Last Dinosaurs debut EP “Back From The Dead” is out now via Dew Process/Universal.

Last Dinosaurs come Back From The Dead

Posted in News with tags , on February 4, 2010 by keelykov

Last Dinosaurs are offering the first taste of what’s to come when they release their EP “Back From The Dead”.  And what better way to do it, than put on a bash in their hometown, Brisbane?  Last Dinosaurs will be revealing their debut release at the Old Museum on Friday, 26 February.  They have even thrown the doors open to under 18s so no one misses out on the night.

With guest DJ and local support from Comic Sans, in the amazing surrounds of the Old Museum building, this promises to be a warehouse styled gig not to be missed.

The quartet had a pleasantly surprising 2009.  Not long after uploading their demo to triple j unearthed, they had Zan Rowe on the phone interviewing them as an Unearthed feature artist.  From there they found themselves playing shows with Matt & Kim (NY), Red Riders and Lost Valentinos and being named the highlight gig of Australian music conference Big Sound. They signed to Dew Process in November 2009.

They have since polished up their recordings with the help of producer Jono Ma (of Lost Valentinos) at Byron’s 301 Studios.  The result is “Back From the Dead” an EP that captures this youthful group’s rhythmic snarl.

Last Dinosaurs are currently giving away track “As Far As You’re Concerned”, to claim your copy just go to: http://www.universalmusic.net.au/freedownloads/lastdinosaurs
“Back From The Dead” will be out via Dew Process on 26 February 2010.
