THE HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS... BOUND TO LOSE Starring The Holy Modal Rounders, Sam Shepard and Dennis Hopper
MARK YOUR CALENDERS for the NEW YORK CITY PREMIERE! INDEPENDENTS NIGHT AT LINCOLN CENTER THURSDAY JUNE 29th AT 6:30PM Party/performance to follow with Peter Stampfel of the Rounders + Friends. More details soon... Buy advance tickets here: http://filmlinc.com/wrt/indie/holymodal.html "Disturbing, delightful, disturbing, never boring." - Greil Marcus "Charged with alternating currents of affection, exuberance and ineffable melancholy, "The Holy Modal Rounders ... Bound to Lose" offers an intriguing overview of the cult-fave combo that improbably evolved from an acoustic duo to a psychedelic country-folk-rock band." - Variety When fiddler Peter Stampfel collided with guitarist Steve Weber during the "Great Folk Scare" of the early sixties in New York, the two musicians formed a powerful bond based on their shared fascination with American roots music and early psychedelia. Dubbing themselves The Holy Modal Rounders, these eccentric outsiders have drawn a dedicated following of luminaries and lunatics. From their origins in New York’s Greenwich Village folk scene and their involvement in the Easy Rider soundtrack, to the lost years of constant drugging, endless touring and a final shot at redemption, The Holy Modal Rounders… Bound To Lose recounts the unique forty-year history of these true American originals. With startling intimacy, the film also documents the band’s arduous, amusing, and sometimes heartbreaking struggle to capitalize on their recent resurgence in popularity, culminating in an unpredictable 40th anniversary concert in Portland, Oregon. More than just a chronicle of an obscure band, The Holy Modal Rounders… Bound To Lose is a raucous celebration of a lost American outlaw subculture as it draws its final rebellious breaths. BOUND TO LOSE features endearing and hilarious appearances by playwright (and former Rounders drummer) Sam Shepard, Dennis Hopper, John Sebastian of The Lovin’ Spoonful, Peter Tork of the Monkees, The Fugs, Loudon Wainwright III, Dave Van Ronk, Ira Kaplan of Yo La Tengo, Wavy Gravy and many many more.
This labor of love was six years in the making, and marks the feature film debut of co-directors Sam Wainwright Douglas and Paul Lovelace. For more information please visit: http://filmlinc.com/wrt/indie/holymodal.html
