I think I've only caught them once. I think it was them, at the Australia Day event at the navel base a couple years back.

From 2008:
Story of the band by wikipedia:
Story of the band by wikipedia:
History
The band was formed in 2001 by Ethan Holtzman and his brother Zac after Ethan was inspired by a trip to Cambodia. As Ethan and Zac were searching for a vocalist to sing in Khmer, lead singer Chhom Nimol was discovered in a nightclub in the Little Phnom Penh area of Long Beach. She was already a well-known karaoke singer in Cambodia, but decided to move to the United States after visiting her sister, and thought it was a good chance to make more money to send to her family back home.[1] Zac is a vocalist and guitarist, formerly with Dieselhed, while Ethan plays the Farfisa organ. Rounding out the band are bassist Senon Williams (who played in Radar Bros until January 2009), drummer Paul Smith, and David Ralicke on brass.
Their self-titled debut album was released in 2003. All lyrics on the earlier albums are sung in Khmer, while the third album introduces some songs in English. Many of the songs are covers of 1960s Cambodian rock tunes by such artists as Sinn Sisamouth, Pan Ron, and Ros Serey Sothea, but some are originals, first written in English by the Holtzmans before being translated.
In 2005, the band toured Cambodia during the Bon Om Thook water festival, to critical acclaim. The documentary film Sleepwalking Through the Mekong documents the band's touring in Phnom Penh and other major Cambodian cities. There, singer Chhom Nimol, whose family included renowned singers from the 1970s onward, reconnected with the Cambodian fanbase, many of whom remembered the heyday of Cambodian rock from that era. The trip was a transforming experience for the rest of the band as they performed with master musicians and recorded new songs along the way, providing the band with new material. The film also reveals aspects of modern Cambodia, as the band crosses a cultural chasm with the same spirit as Cambodia's original rock pioneers...

What a shame. Sounds like the demand for tickets must have been surprisingly low. Not sure how many locals have ever heard of them and it sounds like the tickets were priced a bit high for many younger Cambodians anyway. I definitely would have been there. How many people could fit in Pontoon? I hope they sold that place out, at least.
Too bad for the band's finances, but it would be nice if they went out and did some free outdoor gigs for the masses. I bet a lot of locals would enjoy them.
Looks like Nimol has discovered American fast food. She used to be hot but now a porker, judging by recent online photos anyway.
I liked this song, Sni Bong. She looks good in this video.

In Siem Reap it was about 99% Barang. In Battambang a couple of years ago, it was the other way round.
