This is a fan site. Yeah, I was in the band. but, I'm a fan too. Looking for information on the internet concerning ANGKOR WAT is difficult at best, especially correct information. I decided to give the band a proper headstone on MySpace with as much stuff as I have in my archives. I can't tell you how many times I've been asked, "What's Danny up to?", "When's the reunion?", "Where's Brinkman nowdays?" So this will be the medium that I will use to keep Angkor Wat fans up to date with what is happening with the former members of one of the most over-the-top bands of the 1980s. Enjoy!



EXPLANATION OF ANGKOR WAT

Angkor Wat is an ancient Buddhist temple in Cambodia that was buillt around 967 A.D. It was the capital of the Khmer dominion, which at the time extended into lands we now call Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam. To this day it has remained the most highly revered spiritual site in Southeast Asian Buddhism. When the infamous Pol Pot toppled the royal government of Cambodia, he declared religion and intellectualism outlawed, and in a ferocious, bloodthirsty manner began the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people who he felt threatened his plans; these included priests, doctors, teachers and anyone else he thought literate, including those who wore glasses. This slaughter began at Angkor Wat. Within its rich and spiritual history lies the essence of our humanity, as well as the evil of which we are capable. The band felt that these extreme contrasts of human beliefs and actions represent the power and emotion that we expressed musically and wish to pass this emotion on to others.
