Attend Dengue Fever's performance on

April 20, 2017, 8:00pm

Phelps-Stokes Auditorium

Dengue Fever is an American band from Los Angeles who combine Cambodian pop music and lyrics with psychedelic rock. The roots of Dengue Fever began in the late 1990’s with a 6-month trek through Southeast Asia by keyboardist Ethan Holtzman. Returning to Los Angeles with a suitcase crammed full of Cambodian cassette tapes, Holtzman and his brother Zac, who had discovered the same music while working at a record store in San Francisco, reunited. 

If you liked Dengue Fever's performance, then you'll love their CDs that we have available for check-out, on the display near the cafe!

The deepest lake by Dengue Fever
Call Number: CD 782.421 D311d 2015
Publication Date: 2015

 

DENGUE FEVER’s most recent album, The Deepest Lake (2015) put the band in the proverbial driver’s seat with no outside entity contributing to the project. This was 100% their project – conceptualizing recording, manufacturing, and releasing it via their own label. Again, the band pushed their boundaries, adding elements of Cambodian hip-hop, Latin grooves and Afro percussion to their familiar sound.
