The Los Angeles-based combo celebrates the joy of Cambodian rock music with a new album and tour.
------------------
The Spotlight shines On Chhom Nimol and Ethan Holtzman, vocalist, and keyboardist, respectively, of the band Dengue Fever.
This episode is a little bit different. Dengue Fever was in the midst of a run of shows up the West Coast of the US in support of their new record Ting Mong, which is on my shortlist for Album of the Year. Their team suggested I meet the band in person instead of recording over Zoom, the way most of our recent episodes have come together. As a result, this talk took place over tea in the lobby of the band’s hotel, just after their soundcheck on a recent Sunday night in Seattle. It’s a little shorter than a typical episode, given the demands on Nimol and Ethan’s time on a show day, but I think you will enjoy it.
There may be better rock or pop bands that have emerged in this century, but I have yet to find one. 20 years in, they are a band still growing and taking delight in what they do. Enjoy our talk.
