Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, the solo project for Orlando Dinosaur, is off the Falls Festival.
The official Falls statement reads “Due to unforeseen circumstances the Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs tour to Australia this December has been postponed; disappointed to miss the festival TEED will be back next year to make it up to the Falls Music & Arts Festival’s audience”.
There isn’t a lot written about Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Even his Facebook page says only “Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dancefloor sensibility, ripping up clubs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs”.
