Band Profile: Dengue Fever



I know local band Dengue Fever isn't for everybody, but I think everybody should see them at least once. The band members (guys who play/played with Radar Brothers, Dieselhed, Beck, Ozomatli, Brazzaville, et.) set out to form a 1960's Cambodian psychedelic band. Eventually they found a singer who could pull off the vocals (in her first language, Khmer). The LA Times said it in an interesting way, "... imagine a Cambodian beauty queen that shares the stage with Barry White, Allen Ginsberg, Michael Hutchence and Brian Wilson."
