Dengue Fever’s psychedelic take on the Cambodian pop sounds of the 60s makes them one of rock’n’roll’s most unique success stories. They draw enthusiastic crowds from LA to the UK, from Maui to Moscow, and leave critics rummaging through their thesauruses looking for new superlatives to describe their sound.
Brothers Ethan (keyboards) and Zac (guitar) Holtzman started Dengue Fever in 2001 when they discovered they shared a love for the Cambodian pop music of the 60s. After adding sax man David Ralicke (Beck/Brazzaville), drummer Paul Smith and bassist Senon Williams, they went looking for a Cambodian singer. Enter Chhom Nimol, who performed regularly for the King and Queen of Cambodia. Her powerful singing - marked by a luminous vibrato that adds exotic ornamentations to her vocal lines - and hypnotic stage moves based on traditional dances complimented the band’s driving Cambodian/American sound.
The band’s eponymous debut was mostly covers of Cambodian classics. Their second album, “Escape From Dragon House”, written almost entirely by the band, was more psychedelic, freer, looser and more experimental than the debut. Their next release, 2008’s “Venus on Earth”, consisted entirely of original material, with several songs performed in English, furthering the band’s overall goal to fuse American and Cambodian styles. In 2009, the band earned kudos for the DVD/CD soundtrack release of the documentary film “Sleepwalking Through The Mekong”, which chronicled their 2005 trip to Nimol’s homeland during the water festival. They also wrote and performed in front of live audiences a commissioned soundtrack for the 1925 silent film classic “The Lost World”.
This year, the band has curated a collection of classic Cambodian rock songs from the pre-Khmer Rouge era called “Dengue Fever Presents: Electric Cambodia”.
