Last Dinosaurs is an Australian indie rock band from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia who formed in 2007. The band consists of Sean Caskey and Lachlan Caskey, both of whom are lead vocalists and guitarists, and bassist Michael Sloane. The Caskey brothers are of Japanese descent.
The band's debut 2010 EP, Back From The Dead and subsequent 2012 debut studio album, In A Million Years, received critical praise from Australian media critics, including Triple J. The band is currently signed to independent label Dew Process in Australia and Fiction Records in the UK. Internationally, Last Dinosaurs distributes through Universal Music Group.

In 2007, Sean Caskey and former drummer Dan Koyama met during high school, starting a band called "The Cairos" that would later become Last Dinosaurs. Soon afterwards, Sean's younger brother, Lachlan Caskey, joined the band as lead guitarist. Sam Gethin-Jones also joined as their drummer.
The band is named after the song "Last Dinosaur" by the Japanese rock band, The Pillows.
After launching their debut extended-play in 2010, the band found success after posting their demo to the Triple J Unearthed project. Not long after, they were interviewed by radio DJ Zan Rowe. The hit track "Honolulu" from Back from the Dead was placed on high rotation on national broadcaster Triple J, giving the band significant traction. They were invited to play at music festivals including Splendour in the Grass, the Laneway Festival, the Falls Festival and Southbound, and supported bands such as Foals, Matt & Kim, Lost Valentinos and Foster the People.
