DENGUE FEVER TOUR EUROPE & RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIA B & W

Hi, All.

Dengue Fever is heading to Europe, after a successful US tour that wrapped up with a sold-out, standing-room-only live performance of a new soundtrack they created for the classic silent film “The Lost World”. And, while they won’t be performing any of that material during their touring gigs, folks who come out to see them live will experience the same psychedelic Khmer surf-rock vibe and all the energy that has made Dengue Fever a sensation all over the globe.

Best,


Tracy
