LA psychedelia meets Cambodian pop to create the potent sound of Dengue Fever. Formed in 2001 by Ethan Holtzman and his brother Zac after a trip to Cambodia, they soon recruited fantastic Cambodian singer Chhom Nimol, bassist Senon Williams, drummer Paul Smith and saxophonist David Ralicke and set about bridging East to West and back again.
Initially a covers band, they have evolved their tropical genre-meshing music, with the brothers writing English lyrics which are then translated for Nimol to sing in her native Khmer tongue.

Cambodian pop meets psychedelic rock...two guys from Los Angeles are inspired after visiting SE Asia and one trip to Little Phnom Penh in Long Beach later, singer Chhom Nimol is discovered and Dengue Fever is born. I stumbled across their music last year by accident after I caught the cursed disease in South America; 30 years after the Khmer Rouge regime the band has brought back the Cambodian flavours that were so rigidly outlawed by Pol Pot back in the 70’s. Hypnotic Khmer lyrics fused with reverberating guitar...yum!
