Indie vets Last Dinosaurs are stoked to announce that the reimagined edition of their sophomore album Wellness, now called Wellnxss, is out.
The record includes re-recorded versions of the album’s ten tracks along with five previously unreleased songs: ‘Dive’, ‘Dead Or Alive’, ‘Kebabs’, ‘Pink Flags’ and ‘Her Mind’.
Not only is it a celebration of the album, but the re-recording of Wellnxss allows the trio of Sean and Lachlan Caskey and Michael Sloane the opportunity to reclaim their music after the original recordings became caught “in perpetuity” with their major-label deal.
“We’re so thankful to our fans, because it’s your positive energy that motivates us to keep pushing ourselves in the direction we need to go,” says Sean.
To celebrate the album’s anniversary and the release of Wellnxss, Last Dinosaurs are embarking touring North America, the Uk and Australia. The band’s five-date national tour includes support from Bad Suns but sadly doesn’t make it to Adelaide.
Those on the East Coast can catch Last Dinosaurs at Torquay Hotel in Torquay on Friday 19 June, Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Saturday 20 June, Newcastle’s King Street Bandroom on Thursday 25 June, Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Friday 26 June and Brisbane’s The Tivoli on Saturday 27 June.

Speaking on the release of Wellness, band member Sean Caskey comments, “Ten years ago, Lach, Sloane, Dan, and I released our sophomore album Wellness! It was the second chance for four boys from Brisbane State High to make another leap in the music world.
“I used to look back on this album as a bit of a failure, as there was so much pressure to follow up [2012 debut] In a Million Years, but now I see it as the catalyst for the way we make music today. It forced us to completely change our approach to recording music by doing it all ourselves. This was after we dropped the demos on YouTube; the reaction to those lo-fi recordings was a massive surprise to us.
“That really inspired us to have more confidence in our own abilities and was the driving force behind [2018’s] Yumeno Garden. We’re so thankful to our fans, because it’s your positive energy that motivates us to keep pushing ourselves in the direction we need to go.”
Wellnxss is out now via Nettwerk. Listen here. Catch Last Dinosaurs performing along the East Coast from Friday 19 to Saturday 27 June. Tickets on sale now at threekingstouring.com.au.
