It’s Raining Pleasure is a tribute to the late David McComb, frontman of the West Australian band, who died in 1999. It features footage of four Triffids reunion shows staged in 2008 as well as interviews with performers such as Mick Harvey (ex-Bad Seeds), Steve Kilbey (The Church) and Toby Martin (Youth Group).
