Lastlings

Meet Amy and Joshua Dowdle, the brother-sister duo that make up electronic pop band, Lastlings. Hailing from the Gold Coast, their combination of honest lyrics and high-energy dance beats makes them one to watch in the Australian music scene. We caught up with the pair following the release of their new album, Perfect World.

What are you most proud of?

How far Amy and I have come. There’s been a lot of ups and downs, but the fact that we stuck together and wrote music and have a lot of shows coming up, I’m really proud of that.
