The New York Times, Associated Press, Pitchfork, Los Angeles Times, BBC, Reuters Television, Spin, NPR and other influential outlets have praised the band's psychedelic Khmer Rock sound. More recently, European outlets such as French magazines Monocle and Chronic'art, the London Observer have extensively covered the band, while Italian Vogue and Song Lines (U.K.) features have been confirmed.

Dengue Fever has spent much of the last two years touring the globe, winning over new fans in the United States , Canada as well as Europe . The band played high profile U.S. festivals Globalfest, Bumbershoot, Halleluwah, Global Union and the Chicago World Music Festival, as well as two European festivals, Sudoeste in Portugal and the Afischa Weekend in Moscow.

Directed by John Pirozzi ( www.johnpirozzi.com ) “Sleepwalking” chronicles the band's first shows outside the United States in lead singer Ch'hom Nimol's homeland of Cambodia .
