Where are they now?
Rob Fetters and Bob Nyswonger teamed up with Adrian Belew and Chris Arduser a few years after this show and became the Bears, after this ended they became the psychodots (minus Adrian). The psychodots stopped performing regularly, but occasionally do special shows. Bob and Chris also have a band called the Graveblankets and Rob works at Sound Images in Cincinnati. Rick Neiheisel is still very active in music but has been using the name Ricky Nye for about 15 years find out what he's up to at www.rickynye.com

2002 Update:
The Bears have released new studio and live albums and have done some limited touring, I was lucky enough to be in Chicago for a show.

Jan. 2003 Update:
Bam Powell (who replaced Hodges some time after this show) appears on Gary Burbank's radio program every Thursday @5pm w/Goshorn Brothers-Pure Prarie League members playing "Stump The Band". Powell also was the singer in the Michel Tire jingle "Mah Mah Mah Mah Michel Tire".

Nov. 2004 Update:
Geoff Keenan (who was a roadie for the Raisins at the time) wrote to tell me that I had incorrectly listed Bam Powell as the drummer on the show. Mike Hodges was on the show. Mike had previously been the drummer in Sweetheart, which was the band Adrian Belew was playing in when the Raisins met him (and also when Frank Zappa “discovered” him playing in a bar in Nashville).  Mike later played with Adrian and David Bowie on the last tour Adrian and David did together.  He’s still playing in and around Cincinnati today.

Sept. 2005 Update
Mike Hodges is currently on tour with Adrian Belew in support of Belew's recent releases on Sanctuary - Side 1 and Side 2.

December 2005 Update
Make sure you check out the new Psychodots release "Terminal" and Rob Fetters new CD "Musician".
Both are amazing, info at psychodots.com.
Also look on iTunes Music Store, both of Rob's solo discs are there as well as Graveblankets, Chris Arduser's solo discs...
