Releases by dinosaur

There are at least five artists called Dinosaur. 1. Dinosaur is an acclaimed jazz (or 'jazz-meets-synthpop') group from the United Kingdom, led by trumpeter and composer Laura Jurd and featuring keyboardist Elliot Galvin, bassist Conor Chaplin and drummer Corrie Dick. They are signed with British label Edition Records and released three albums thusfar: Together, As One (2016), Wonder Trail (2018) and To The Earth (2020). Dinosaur toured extensively and performed at the world's most prestigious jazz fesivals, inclusing North Sea Jazz, Montreal Jazz Festival and Molde International Jazz Festival. 2. New York-based avant-garde cellist and composer Arthur Russell formed Dinosaur in the late 1970s and released the first disco single on Sire in 1979. That single was 'Kiss Me Again', which featured David Byrne on guitar and Myriam Naomi Valle on vocals. Whilst not a commercial hit, it soon became an underground classic, due to it being championed by Larry Levan of Paradise Garage. 3. Legendary alternative rock band, Dinosaur Jr from Amherst, MA, United States, were originally formed as Dinosaur in 1983. Founding members were J Mascis (guitar and vocals) and his high school classmate Lou Barlow (bass guitar), following the break-up of their hardcore punk band Deep Wound. Shortly afterwards, Murph (Emmett Patrick Murphy, drums) joined them. They changed their name following the release of their debut, Dinosaur (1985), when a band called The Dinosaurs (featuring ex-members of Country Joe and the Fish and Jefferson Airplane), threatened them with legal action. Although later pressings of the 'Dinosaur' album have been credited to Dinosaur Jr, the album was in fact the band's only album released under the original band name. 4. Dinosaur is a thrash metal band from Portugal, formed in 1989. 5. Dinosaur (ディノゾール) is a dinosaur-themed idol group from Japan. Read more on Last.fm.
