Sad News for Last Dinosaurs Fans

Brisbane's Last Dinosaurs lost a member today as Sam Gethin-Jones announced his departure from the band with a written statement.

Hi everyone.

Sam here. I come with the unfortunate news that I will no longer be a part of Last Dinosaurs. For the band to move forward in the strongest way possible it is best that we part ways now. I can honestly say that the best experiences in my life have been with the guys, and I’ll always be grateful for the memories we’ve shared. To all Last Dinosaurs fans that I’ve interacted with, that have come to ours shows, or that have appreciated our music I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. To Lach, Sean and Dan I want to wish you fellas the best of luck moving forward. We’ve been working on the second album and it is going to blow your minds (you’ve been warned). This isn’t the end of my life with music, just a different pathway for me to follow now. So keep your ears to the ground and I’ll see you all soon with something new and exciting.

Sam

Gig of the Week - Regurgitator / Last Dinosaurs @ Brisbane Powerhouse, Sun 16 May

Brisbane Powerhouse at New Farm is celebrating it's 10th Birthday this Sunday and as part of a day of free events and celebrations two of Brisbane's best bands will be taking to the stage.

 Regurgitator need no introductions, being one of Brisbane's most high profile bands of the past fifteen years. The genre-blending outfit started out way back in 1994, storming the alternative music scene with numbers like I Sucked a Lot of Cock To Get Where I Am. Along with the attitude, Regurgitator were blessed with highly charismatic frontman Quan Yeomans. Warner snapped them up for a multi-album deal and soon the boys from Brisbane were sharing stages with Beck, the Chili Peppers and the Prodigy.
Regurgitator hit their peak in 1998 when Polyester Girl - their biggest-selling single - helped push the album Unit to sales of 240,000-plus. They joined Midnight Oil for an anti-uranium mine demonstration at Jabiluka, toured Japan several times and headed to England's Reading Festival. The band has been quieter in recent years but will no doubt draw a considerable crowd this Sunday.

Indie-popster's Last Dinosaurs are one of Brisbane's best and brightest young bands. Having just released their debut EP in February the band's appeal is growing fast thanks to their spritely, youthful sound.

Sounds of Brisbane - Last Dinosaurs - EP Launch

Brisbane's own indie-popster's Last Dinosaurs are set to mark the release of their debut EP 'Back from the Dead' on February 26 with a show at The Old Museum.

Brothers Sean and Lachlan Caskey front the band as guitarists whilst Dan Koyama and Sam Gethin-Jones take on the drums and bass respectively in a line-up that has generated considerable buzz on the local music scene.

Much of the band’s appeal lies in the spritely, youthful guitar pop, as their instruments slither purposefully over and around each other. Triple j were quick to tag them as a promising act with demo “Honolulu” earning them the Triple j Unearthed tick of approval way back in February 2009. The Last Dinosaurs live show has also been hard to ignore, highlighted as one of the most talked about shows at Brisbane’s 2009 Big Sound Showcase by JMag.
