July 25 (Saturday) — Dengue Fever, the Los Angeles-based band that sounds like “a Cambodian pop rock psychedelic dance party!” — according to the band’s My Space page. A new documentary, Sleepwalking Through the Mekong, follows the band on its recent journey to Cambodia where the band performed 1960s and ‘70s Cambodian rock ‘n’ roll “in the country where it was created and very nearly destroyed,” according to an online synopsis. In the documentary’s trailer, a band member says the music is based on California surf music, rewritten with Cambodian melodies. The band, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “quite possibly the most original pop band in LA,” has produced three albums: Dengue Fever, Venus on Earth and Escape From the Dragon House.

In those times when you relax, you recreate yourself.” Listen: .
