ha ha, i just noticed this page and jerod and gabe... yeah. bat makumba was pretty darn horrible.

Gabe said

Jerod: Yeah, I totally agree with that. Was anyone there for french disco?

Jerod K said

Dengue Fever was great. Bat Makumba was one of the worst bands I have ever seen. Soulless funk-metal played by idiot cocky (wannabee?) Brazilians is something nobody should have to experience.

I took a picture of the set list. The songs were abbreviated, but I've written out the full titles. The ones with question marks next to them are ones whose full titles I'm unsure about.

This page has a link to the interview: Dengue Fever: Vintage Cambodian Pop Remixed

I would also add that their interview on Fresh Air on NPR was quite good as well. Obviously more informal though.

If you're interested in the history of Cambodian rock, check out the documentary, "Don't Think I've Forgotten". Fascinating stuff.

Victoria said

Yeah, it was a great show. I wasn't expecting anything less!

A show with White Shoes next time would be amazing!!

Glad you enjoyed the show Gabe! I wish I could go.
By the way, I tried to have White Shoes And The Couples Company played with Dengue Fever. Hopefully next time :-)

Dengue Fever was great - they played what felt like a good long set, totally rocked out the whole time. I'd totally see them again.
