Another one of those pieces that I've heard passing by on RP for a while. Just realized I've really grown into it.  Crazy how you can develop a craving for something you didn't even notice a while ago...

That being said, I'm out.  No one will care.  I get it.  But seriously, there is no value in having to endure this absolute crap.  I love so many of the experiences that RP has allowed  me as the soundtrack of my life, but no more.  I don't go to restaurants that serve me food that I hate, even if the appys are delish.  With all of the music and entertainment options available in this world, why would anyone endure 5 more minutes of this?    

So, gang, this is the divorce.  You left your damn dirty socks on the bedroom floor  one too many times...and they smelled like Dengue Fever.  



GOOD RIDDANCE!   Don't come back!  ...this way we will never have to hear your drivel again!!

Me too.  Late 60s in merchant Marines bring supplies to Vietnam, and lucky to have a radio system to pick up all sorts of stations, and grew to love what I was hearing in the far east Pacific.  Though I did not understand the lyrics, the music rocked my soul!

Southeast Asian rock was a pretty big thing in the 60's & 70's, mostly born from the influence of American GI's and the music they brought to the region.

Dengue Fever is keeping the genre going with their modern tastes. It may be an acquired taste, but to me its always a fun adventure.
Posted 2 years ago by Peace_tode    [ Reply ]
The music of Dengue Fever is featured in the play 'Cambodian Rock Band' by Lauren Yee.  Saw it in Ashland, Oregon as a part of the Shakespearean festival.  It was AMAZING.  If you get a chance to see this play, go.

 I just Googled 'Dengue' because i didn't know what it meant, and it came up with this this:-
.

"Dengue is a viral infection spread by mosquitoes". (not funny, i'm sure)
.
and then it said:-
.
"Can you survive dengue fever? Most people recover within a week or so"
.
so if you're not digging it, you'll probably be fine in a week or two. 

I still can't decide if i do or not though...

I saw this band live several years ago -- one of many concerts I never would have attended were it not for RP. It was a fairly intimate venue. Toward the end of the performance, many of the Cambodians and Cambodian-Americans in the audience got on stage and did the most elegant finger and hand movements along with the music. Happy and magical.

Whenever this comes on I get fooled into thinking it's going to be "No Church In The Wild" by Phil Manzanera and Sonia Barnardo. That notion is quickly dispelled once the vocals start but that track itself has an interesting origin. If you're interested in the details, see

I saw Dengue Fever in a once-in-a-lifetime live musical performance in San Francisco a few years back.  They performed their own live sound track to the famous sci-fi classic "The Lost World".  The band was there playing down front in the movie theater as the movie showed to a full audience.  They played their own original composed music for the movie and it was choreographed perfectly.  What an experience!  

 
Love this band and this song!
It was part of the SF International Film Festival curated by an amazing guy name Sean...I was there and worked on it. Also got to hang out with them during the opening of the Contemporary Jewish Museum in SF 2008.

I can't help but love this quirky, multi-ethnic group! Their full-on jamming and wailing remind me of the dangdut music that was all the rage when I was exploring Sumatra, Bali, and Java in the late '80s, with wild guitar distortion and a Classical Indian tabla beat behind it all. I was in a car on the way here to Boulder with a gal I'd just met in Denver a couple years ago when Dengue Fever came on as she put in a party-mix tape she brought along. I said, "YOU KNOW DENGUE FEVER?!" She grabbed my hand and said, "Oh, I absolutely adore them!" and at the time, it seemed we would, and should, be married. But, like the theme of this song, now we are far apart, and I don't think it will happen...but in any case, I am hoping that I will get to see this amazing groupful of passionate talent play live one day!

It is not a co-incidence that I commented years ago when this first came out that the title meant "float;" I was living in Tokyo during a ten-year stint there as part of my 20 years in Japan (also 2 in Shizuoka, 8 in Ishikawa)...furthermore, I agree with the following translation:
———
Uku
This is a breeze that made me think of my village
I think of my aunt and uncle
We used to run and play hide and seek
But now we are far apart...
So far apart...

I agree... freaking amazing.  'Uku' means 'float' in Japanese... 浮く.  I wonder if that's where the song name come from - suits this track!

This exotic jam is about as intense as it gets... I adore its fearlessness!  It rocks right out and radiates its sultry Southeast Asian vibe...

It is quite cool, nice vibe indeed; sweet guitar sound too.

While I'm one of those who 'doesn't get' this, music like it is the reason I love RP - never know what comes next.
