Dengue Fever -- FREE INSTORE

Dengue Fever Free In-store Performance
Monday, August 24th - 7:00pm

With barely a whisper, we've already begun filling up the list for this little shindig. Dengue Fever blend classic surf, 60s garage, and a whole wide world of international influences, most traceable are their Cambodian roots, thanks in large part to vocalist Chhom Nimol, but abundantly apparent are threads of Indian, Ethiopian, and other worldly colors - and with all of that said, if pushed to find a box to put them into, there isn't a one-word description that comes as close Psyche (and given a few extra qualifiers, I'd settle on "classic", "garagey", and "cool-as-hell"). I'm probably not as good at this as Spin is, and they said:

"A unique and surprisingly danceable group that combines a beautiful Khmer-language vocalist from Cambodia and a quintet of seasoned locals with a knack for mixing Southeast Asian pop, Vietnam-war-era lounge music, klezmer, ska, surf rock, and Ethiopian jazz."

The guest list is open like a double-wide, but hurry. Drop by the store or give us a call at 562)433-4996 to secure your spot.
