Dengue Fever Spread More Cambodian Rock With Venus On EarthFriday November 02, 2007
By: ChartAttack.com Staff
Los Angeles band Dengue Fever caused a global sensation with their second album, Escape From Dragon House, and are set to do the same with Venus On Earth when it arrives in stores on Jan. 22 via M80 Music.
Dengue Fever's unique combination of pop and world music, which they define as "a Cambodian pop rock psychedelic dance party," features lyrics sung in Khmer. Despite language barriers, the band have played around the world.
The new album has 11 original songs produced by the group and Paul Dreux Smith. Dengue Fever premiered music from their new album at Womex — the world's largest music conference focusing on world, roots, folk and ethnic music — in Seville, Spain on Oct. 27.
A documentary about the band titled Sleepwalking Through The Mekong and directed by John Pirozzi recently debuted at the Tucson Film Festival. It focuses on the band's first shows outside the U.S. in Cambodia, the homeland of lead singer Ch'hom Nimol. The performance marked the first time that a western-based band performed Khmer rock in the country since dictator Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge took control in 1975. His reign of terror lasted until he was overthrown in 1979.
Here are the songs on Venus On Earth:

This is what you called "The act of Evil made from Vietnam". They are trying to destroy everything good for Cambodia" Let the world know of their evil intention. These people can never be good neighbors with any country. Now they kiss ass anybody that will benefit them. They are the evil in their blood. Watchout China of this ONE COUNTRY. Stop it now before it is too late!!!
Yet, another fucking loser from Long Beach, or so called "Cambodia Town."
The singer is no more than a whore, and the rest of the band are crack heads.
Yes, stay away from Cambodia.
