The title Seeing Hands reminds me of  the rather ghastly movie Pan's Labyrinth...

This could be the worst tune I've heard on RP.....I'll politely move on and grateful there is PSD.

I am turning off RP and will come back later, this song is giving me a headache with the shrill in the voice and background instruments.  If this kind of music is for you I can see how you'd like it...

Me too.  I actually overrated to a 10 to help counteract the haters.

Am I happy I know who Dengue Fever is? Yes.
Will I recommend them to anyone or spend money on their music? Probably not.

 

Well said.  Couldn't agree more.

I like DF's sound, but this isn't their best tune on RP.

I have a few DF CD's and to be honest, not every track appeals to me. I have seen them live, and it was a phenomenal performance, just a GREAT live sound, so much so even some 'meh' songs from the CD knocked me out live.

GB and DF both have intense style, and that's what I like about them.  Culture is not all about race. 
 
Agreed.

Dengue fever has a nickname—"break bone fever"—that seems most apt here. 

Painfully bad. Must stop. Pleeeease.

L.A. band with Chhom Nimol (a respected Cambodian singer before moving to LA) on the mic.

When people travel abroad to partake of the folk music of other lands, aren't they making the trip to engage in a monocultural experience? Here in the melting pot, we got the many choices, but isolating ourselves from other cultures isn't one of them. Can't somebody not like something without the race card being waved about? Seems there's an opportunity here for a corollary to Godwin's Law.

Is there something wrong with playing music from other cultures? It seems that the most hateful comments on Radio Paradise are directed against bands like Dengue Fever and Gogol Bordello.

Really? Are that many Radio Paradise listeners... um... "monocultural"?

Never mind.

If I still partook, I'd fire up a fatty and let this carry me back to my time in SE Asia in the very early '70s. Philippino bands crucifying American rock anthems in the EM clubs, 25 cent drinks, and nightly rocket and mortar attacks to light up the night sky over the firebase. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... I enjoy this song every time I hear it.

I agree Bill, this really works somewhere in time, just not sure when that is/was. I hear Vanilla Fudge.

and i upgraded this from 9 to 10, too.
just to have some balancing to all the 1-votes here.
are there really such a lot of completely ignorant people out there to completely miss the point of this?
i would tolerate any "not my thing" comment on this song, because it´s certainly very "special".. but all those comments on the singer´s voice and technique and so on are so silly. welcome to ignoreland!

That may be one of the best guitar riffs I have ever heard, I can't get enough of it! Sadly, the rest of their music does not really sound like this. They have some other good songs, but not like this one!
