The Bends. A Film About The Raisins. (Official Trailer)
1m 48s
After a 39 year hiatus, the legendary Cincinnati rock band, The Raisins got back together for three sellout shows. These long-accomplished midwestern musicians come face-to-face with the music they made at a time in their early twenties where they miraculously made a living writing and performing original music. A celebration of original music, rock prowess and dedication provides the backdrop for dialogue and reflection, as the band members recount the band’s journey, successes and frustrations. Intimate revelations and in-depth storytelling shine a light on the triumphs and suggest what might have gone wrong commercially, despite an abundance of rich artistic and regional success.
Featuring Rob Fetters, Bob Nyswonger, Ricky Nye, and Bam Powell.
Directed by Michael Tittel
