Top Five Most Memorable Gigs Of The Past 12 Months With Peking Duk

1. Splendour in the Grass 2014

This was the perfect show for us. Not only did we play to an insanely sweaty, huge crowd, we got four friends of ours to come and sing during our set – 360, Ben from Safia, The Kite String Tangle and Yeo. We finished our set off with four giant confetti cannons, lots of pyrotechnics and co2!

2. Groovin The Moo Tour

We arrived back from America the morning of the first Groovin The Moo show; this tour was something else. The regional crowds were immense and up for any tracks we played for them, and were well worth the long car trips to get there.

3. New Zealand Tour

We just toured New Zealand. Not only was the countryside a treat to look at, the venues were full to the brim with the sweatiest crew we have ever played to. Christchurch was a stand out for us. It was devastating to see the destruction caused by the earthquake and to receive such a great reception warmed our hearts. Special shout-outs to Rotorua where the whole city smells of fart and eggs.

4. Big Day Out 2014 Boiler Room in Sydney

All our lives we have dreamt of playing at Big Day Out and seeing acts like the Bloody Beetroots perform there a few years ago was a huge inspiration for us to keep producing music. Sydney BDO was a bit of a homecoming show and we were so grateful of the crowd that came out early to see us.

5. Oxford Art Factory Shows

Just this week we kicked off our current tour and played two sold out Oxford Art Factory shows. We were stoked how the night turned out and the fact we got to choose our own supports (L D R U and Yeo) was pretty special. Special mentions goes to the crowd who sang happy birthday to Reuben when the clock struck midnight.
