Dengue Fever - Flamingo Cantina, SXSW, Austin TX - March 18, 2010


[from Los Angeles, CA] this band was at the top of both Rockboy and my’s list and we were not let down – traditional Cambodian pop vocals backed by psychedelic jazz rock – a great concept well executed by a very appealing band – I was especially a fan of the extremely tall man on bass guitar and the long-bearded man on guitar – the band had a charming air of authenticity and exotic mystery, with the men dressed like shabby serious musicians and the little lead singer in a cheesy but quaint Vegas call girl outfit: short black dress and black stilettos, both of which had diamondy attachments – they even managed to make throwing piles of glitter during key points of songs genuine and naïve rather than contrived
