SUMMARY:Vacations & Last Dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:On a mild Saturday night in early December\, Vacations\, a band
  from Newcastle\, takes the stage at Howler\, a popular venue in Melbourne
 . Despite accumulating close to ten million streams in 2019 and receiving 
 praise from fans worldwide\, their performance is not a sold-out show but 
 a warm-up gig for a small group of dedicated fans. This situation reflects
  the insular nature of the Australian live scene\, where even internationa
 lly acclaimed bands struggle to gain recognition at home. Nevertheless\, V
 acations' captivating stage presence and guitar-driven indie pop sound res
 onate with the audience\, leaving a lasting impression. Campbell Burns\, t
 he band's front man\, acknowledges the unique position of Australian artis
 ts\, feeling detached from the global music scene. Although Vacations has 
 achieved success abroad\, with 85% of their fan base residing overseas\, t
 hey still strive to be recognized in their own country. The band's journey
  began in 2016 as a DIY project\, with Burns producing demos and later col
 laborating with Jake Johnson\, Nate Delizzotti\, and Joseph Van Lier to re
 fine their sound. Their music draws inspiration from the likes of Morrisse
 y\, Marr\, Joy Division\, and The Cure\, infusing a modern twist. Burns' a
 udacious spirit led him to tour the US and perform at SXSW\, forming an im
 promptu band to share his music on an international stage. In 2020\, Vacat
 ions embarked on a new chapter with their forthcoming album\, "Forever in 
 Bloom\," which explores their evolution as a band and the challenges they 
 face. Recorded by the band themselves at various locations\, the album was
  co-produced by Oscar Dawson and the band at The Grove\, resulting in a re
 fined and poignant sound. While their local critical acclaim is yet to mat
 ch their international success\, Vacations' profile is expected to continu
 e to rise overseas while making strides in their home country's touring ci
 rcuit. Looking ahead\, Burns envisions releasing a series of singles leadi
 ng up to their debut studio album and aims for widespread recognition and 
 endless touring\, perhaps even relocating to the USA for their next album.
  As Burns reflects over breakfast\, he acknowledges the uncertainty surrou
 nding the band's future but remains hopeful for what lies ahead with their
  new album\, describing Vacations as a dark horse band.
