On Saturday, March 29 Dengue Fever played for a sold-out audience at the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art in Houston. Both the venue and the band itself created a surreal experience for all those who attended. If you've not visited the Orange Show before, I encourage you to do so - you won't find anything like it anywhere else. It looks like a playground/amusement park on crack...and I mean that in the best way possible. The building is constructed of found materials, and the maze-like interior forces you to explore the bountiful treasures within. It's a masterpiece best experienced in person, so head on over to see for yourself!

LA-based Dengue Fever certainly did their part in contributing to the atmosphere that night. They play indie-pop/rock with a twist: the lead vocalist is Cambodian, and she sings primarily in Khmer. The result is compelling, distinctive world music - and an incredibly diverse fanbase. Saturday's show brought out a multi-generational, multi-ethnic crowd, and all seemed to enjoy the performance as much as Eggs and I did. We look forward to seeing more of both the Orange Show and Dengue Fever.
