DENGUE FEVER and Secret Chiefs 3 share a long and varied history, but this is the first time we have toured together. Secret Chiefs 3 founder Trey Spruance released our first eponymous studio album in 2003 on his Web of Mimicry label. Almost a decade earlier, in 1994, Zac and Secret Chiefs 3 drummer Danny Heifetz were band members in legendary Bay Area band Dieselhed until they disbanded in 2000. Prior to Dieselhed, Zac and Senon were attending college at Humboldt State University where they met and became friends with Spruance and Heifitz who then became members of the cult band Mr. Bungle w/ Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton.

Hope to see you at the shows!

Best,

Nimol, Zac, David, Paul, Ethan & Senon

    Members of Dengue Fever will perform hits from their catalogue as well as favorite traditional Jewish songs through the filter of their eclectic style that has made them a well-known touring and recording ensemble. The band itself is inventive as they meld diverse cultures with surf guitar pop, spy-movie themes and an East-meets-West psychedelic and garage rock sound. However, the magic ingredient in the group lies with Cambodian-born lead singer Chhom Nimol. You can be sure at the upcoming Tikva Records’s event, you’ll hear a Yiddish song sung by an acclaimed Cambodian singer.

    * 2 shows – 7pm and 8:30pm
    * Doors open 15 minutes prior to show time
    * Limited to 2 tickets each
    * All events are free with a rotating suggested donation at the door

DENGUE FEVER “ELECTRIC MEKONG” TOUR OF SOUTH EAST ASIA CONFIRMS ALL DATES FOR NOVEMBER TOUR


LOS ANGELES, CA & PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA (WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9, 2011) - Cambodian and American rock band DENGUE FEVER (www.denguefevermusic.com) announced today that its previously announced South East Asian “Electric Mekong” tour, has all confirmed dates, cities, and venues for this November.  This is the band’s third tour of the region in its career.

Dengue Fever is touring the region with the cooperation and support of the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Embassies in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, and local promoter in Cambodia, Dickon Verey, after receiving the prestigious Arts Envoy grant, designed to share American Culture around the world.  Previously, the band performed in Cambodia and Vietnam, but this trip marks its debut in Laos. Tour dates are as follows:

11/12 @ FCC, Phnom Penh, CAMBODIA
11/13 @ Epic Arts Center, Kampot, CAMBODIA
11/15 @ Hotel De La Paix, Siem Reap, CAMBODIA
11/16 @ Neak Banh Toeuk Park, Battambang, CAMBODIA (just added)
11/18 @ Diamond Island Building, Phnom Penh, CAMBODIA
11/20 @ Wat Ang Soeng Pagoda, Bati District, Takeo, CAMBODIA (just added)
11/23 @ Budo Center, Vientiane, LAOS (just added)
11/26 @ American Club, Hanoi, VIETNAM
*Additional workshops and private events are scheduled as well

“Through the Arts Envoy Program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the U.S. Department of State is pleased to bring the rock band Dengue Fever back to Southeast Asia,” said Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, Thomas Hodges.  “The U.S. Embassies in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are looking forward to working with the Los Angeles-based band this month on their Electric Mekong Tour.  The band will do a variety of shows and conduct workshops with local musicians in order to foster goodwill, engage foreign audiences and provide insight into American culture and values.”

In April of this year, Dengue Fever released its fourth full-length album, Cannibal Courtship for Concord Music Group/Fantasy Records.  The band has toured the United States, France, and England in support of the record.  In fact, the band was invited by The Kinks’ Ray Davies to perform at his 2011 Meltdown Festival, which he curated, as well as making their sold-out Paris debut and second Glastonbury performance. The band is in the process of confirming tour dates in the U.S. and Europe for 2012.

Later this year, Dengue Fever will launch their own record label and online store, for the purpose of releasing their long out-of-print back catalog with additional bonus tracks and new merchandise for fans. Currently, the band is sifting through outtakes, live tracks, radio shows, alternative tracks and more to expand their back catalog for digital and physical release.
