Family Band-style.
Don’t Knock The Rock, the music documentary series/festival co-founded by Allison Anders, has been running strong these last 6 weeks and it finally comes to a conclusion this Thursday night, with Family Band: The Cowsills Story. It should prove to be awesome:
With their first Top 40 hit “The Rain, The Park And Other Things”, The Cowsills may well have been the first Sunshine Pop band. They are the real-life inspiration behind TV’s The Partridge Family, but The Cowsills’ lives were no sitcom. Darkness lurks beneath the lilting harmonies and optimistic, innocent melodies; their story is raw, honest, tragic, beautiful — and the music, sublime. What’s perhaps most incredible about their story is the way the band members have processed their highly unique experience: being in a band with their mom and managed by their dad at the height of their pop stardom, at a time when such stardom really meant something.
