The Los Angeles Gold-Diggers shows will be billed as An Evening With Dengue Fever and will feature the band performing both acoustic and electric sets for the first time ever – with no support band. These shows are a unique opportunity for fans to see the band as never before – as an acoustic opener as well as an electric headline act. Additional shows will be announced shortly.
2025 was a busy year for Dengue Fever. The band performed at festival shows in San Francisco at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, in Canada at both the Winnipeg Folk Festival and Calgary the Calgary Folk Music Festival and in Thailand at the Pulepo Festival 2025. The band also headlined shows in San Diego, Joshua Tree, Long Beach, San Francisco, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, the Levitt Pavillion and Venice West in Los Angeles and Berkeley as well.
In 2023, Dengue Fever released Ting Mong their sixth full-length album of new material in the Dengue Fever discography. The album title refers to Khmer folklore, as a Ting Mong is a decoy or mannequin, almost like a scarecrow, but used to fight away evil spirits and plagues. Dengue Fever constructed Ting Mong after a self-imposed hiatus followed by a global pandemic allowing them to flesh out tracks on the new album. Tracks presented themselves as slower, more lengthy, psychedelic jams. Album artwork is from noted Japanese comic book and Anime/manga artist Imiri Sakabashira.
Tuk Tuk Records is distributed via MRI/The Orchard in North America and Proper Music Group for the rest of the world.
