Daniel Merriweather One-Off Melbourne Show

Yeo Joins Peking Duk’s National Tour

Melbourne-based production talent Yeo has a whole lot of big news. Not only will he soon be joining Australian EDM favourites Peking Duk on their August tour, including an appearance onstage with them at Splendour In The Grass, but the young producer is now bound for BIGSOUND 2014.

Back in April, having spent the summer touring alongside Ngairre, Fractures, and Glass Animals, Yeo unveiled the latest offering from his forthcoming debut EP, Kobe. Produced by Yeo and mixed by Phil Threlfall, Kobe is a consuming slice of avant-pop, which recently got the nod from Triple J.
