CAMBODIAN ROCK BAND
by ​Lauren Yee
​featuring songs by Dengue Fever

PRE-ORDER NOW! AVAILABLE MAY 8, 2020

This darkly funny, electric new play with music tells the story of a Khmer Rouge survivor returning to Cambodia for the first time in thirty years, as his daughter prepares to prosecute one of Cambodia’s most infamous war criminals. Backed by a live band playing contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time as father and daughter face the music of the past.

Part comedy, part mystery, part rock concert, this thrilling story toggles back and forth in time, as father and daughter face the music of the past. Neary, a young Cambodian American has found evidence that could finally put away the Khmer Rouge’s chief henchman. But her work is far from done. When Dad shows up unannounced—his first return to Cambodia since fleeing 30 years ago—it’s clear this isn’t just a pleasure trip.

Dubbed “fierce, gorgeous and heartwarming” by the Los Angeles Times, this epic play/rock concert thrusts us into the life of a young woman trying to piece together her family history thirty years after her father fled Cambodia. Featuring a cast that performs a mix of contemporary Dengue Fever hits and classic Cambodian oldies, playwright and UC San Diego alum Lauren Yee brings to vivid life the Cambodian rock scene of the ‘60s and ‘70s, a movement cut short by the Khmer Rouge’s brutal attempt to erase the music (and musicians) once and for all. A story about survivors, the resilient bond of family and the enduring power of music.

“Lauren Yee improbably combines a tempestuous father/daughter relationship, 1960s-influenced psychedelic surf rock, and the Khmer Rouge – it’s gloriously funny, shocking and ultimately uplifting.”
– Christopher Ashley, The Rich Family Artistic Director of La Jolla Playhouse

What started as a sonic obsession has turned into a righteous cause for Los Angeles band Dengue Fever.

Electric

Launched in 2001 by brothers Ethan and Zac Holtzman, the group devised its own riff on Cambodia's ebullient psychedelic rock sound of the late 1960s and early '70s. After recruiting Cambodian singer Chhom Nimol, a star in her homeland who was performing in Long Beach, the band devised a wondrously strange repertoire by seamlessly combining classic Khmer pop with twangy garage rock.

Now Dengue Fever is looking to highlight its initial source of inspiration, promoting the release of 'Electric Cambodia' - a CD featuring 14 vintage Cambodian rock tunes culled from the band's precious stash of cassettes. Proceeds from the album will go to Cambodian Living Arts, an organization working to revive Cambodian art forms while also supporting contemporary artistic expression.

'We've got a heavy relationship with this music,' says Dengue Fever bassist Senon Williams. 'We covered two of the songs on this compilation on our first record, and we've been playing them ever since. The band started with an idea, with no idea of where we were going to go.'

While the music on 'Electric Cambodia' is often deliriously giddy, it's impossible not to feel a sense of dread knowing the fate that awaited the artists. With the rise of the Khmer Rouge in 1975, Pol Pot's regime wiped out about a fifth of the nation's population in four years, concentrating with particularly brutal efficiency on artists, professionals, teachers and business owners.

While Dengue Fever didn't set out with a political agenda, the group has grown increasingly involved with Cambodia. Embraced by her old fans on the band's 2005 Cambodian tour, Nimol found that audiences loved Dengue Fever's distinctive spin on the Khmer rock sound. John Pirozzi's 2009 documentary 'Sleepwalking Through the Mekong,' which he filmed during the 10-day tour, was released in August as part of a package with the film's soundtrack.

'We aren't purists,' Williams says. 'We're not trying to dissect the music. We're just using it as a catalyst to write new songs and create something out of the ordinary in the Silver Lake scene we live in. But as we continued playing, we learned more about the genocide and the history of the music and musicians. It wasn't important in starting the band, but it's become increasingly important now that we're more connected to that culture and its roots. But we're still not concerned with playing something that sounds Cambodian. I think if you took Chhom out, it would sound American.'
