CONTEST: Win Tickets to Catch Dengue Fever

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 10, 2008 8:40PM

Dengue Fever plays Cambodian psych-rock go-go music!The first time you hear them, Dengue Fever is one of those bands that will most likely cause you to do a spit-take. Um, psychedelic Cambodian go-go music anyone?

It sounds like the sort of thing that might've been blasting out if G.I. radios as they danced shirtless at the helm of their pontoon boats, fighting off mosquitoes, and getting so high they'd forget how to swim if they lost their balance.

If you want to see what that feels like in person -- and who wouldn't? -- we've got a pair of tickets to their Empty Bottle show tomorrow to give a way to one of you! Enter after the jump for your chance to win.

Dengue Fever plays tomorrow, July 11, at The Empty Bottle, 1035 N Western, 10 p.m., $14, 21+
