For those of you who fancy alternative guitar noise and indie rock bands such as Wolf Alice<\/a> and Snail Mail<\/a>, Australian indie rock band Last Dinosaurs should be on your headphones. Almost 10 years in, vocalist and guitarist Sean Caskey from the band shares with us the highs and lows of crafting three albums, the funniest moments from the band\u2019s early gigs (one minor detail almost got the band kicked out of bars?!), and more. <\/p>\n

An interview with Sean Caskey from Last Dinosaurs<\/h2>\n

Established in 2009, Last Dinosaurs are a Brisbane-based indie rock band that brings together Lachlan Caskey (lead guitar), Michael Sloane (bass) and Sean Caskey (vocals, rhythm guitar). Best known for its lush and adrenaline-pumping garage rock sound, the band has just delivered a dynamic third album Yumeno Garden – with hit singles like Eleven, influenced by the likes of The Strokes. The band has quickly gained a dedicated following thanks to its distinct sound and toured with bands like Foster the People and Two Door Cinema Club.<\/p>\n

What is the concept of your album Yumeno Garden?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s an introspective reflection on life and relationships based on an imaginary place stuck between two worlds.<\/p>\n

Which song is your favourite to perform live?<\/h3>\n

Forget About has an intro that swells in and pauses for a moment before kicking in. I love playing that song because that intro just feels awesome.<\/p>\n

The artwork for the album and the music video of Eleven is super rad. Are there defining characteristics that you felt compelled to express with the artwork?<\/h3>\n

It just had to be us. We had to make it ourselves with Michael\u2019s camera. That way we could just express ourselves without feeling the staring eyes of the crew standing around you. It was a lot of fun going out and just making scenes on the fly. Also having the Ferrari was great. I miss driving that thing. I was terrified while I was driving it but afterwards I felt a strong connection with the Ferrari brand. Thanks Ferrari and thanks Punk Juice.<\/p>\n
