The Bends. A film about The Raisins.
After a 39 year hiatus, the legendary Cincinnati rock band, The Raisins got back together for three sellout shows. In this live documentary these accomplished midwestern musicians come face-to-face with the music they made in their mid-twenties, when they miraculously made a living writing and performing original music. A celebration of musical prowess, chemistry and a dedication to originality create the backdrop for dialogue and reflection, as the band members recount the band’s journey, their overwhelmingly passionate fans, and purposefully eclectic music . Intimate revelations and witty storytelling highlight the triumphs and the abundant artistic successes they had despite their lack of widespread national recognition.
Featuring Rob Fetters, Bob Nyswonger, Ricky Nye, and Bam Powell.
Directed by Michael Tittel
Features original live performances from The Raisins' reunion show captured at the Woodward Theater, March 2024.
