Dengue Fever's uncommon pop/world music sound has garnered critical acclaim since their eponymous debut CD, and their 2005 release Escape From Dragon House has brought them to a global audience, widening their exposure. The Los Angeles band has spent much of the last two years touring the globe, winning over new fans in the United States, Canada as well as Europe. A documentary on Dengue Fever, entitled Sleepwalking Through the Mekong recently premiered at the Silver Lake Film Festival and will be featured at other festivals throughout the year. Directed by John Pirozzi and produced by Film 101, Sleepwalking chronicles the band's first shows outside the United States in lead singer Ch'hom Nimol's homeland of Cambodia, marking the first time a Western-based band performed Khmer Rock in Cambodia since Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge took over the country in 1975.
This fall, Dengue Fever will be performing some west coast and southwest tour dates, and will perform at WOMEX, the world music festival in Spain. The band's third CD, Venus On Earth, will be released in 2008.
