BRANDON HICKLE- PERFORMER, MUSICIAN

BORN-CLARKSVILLE, OHIO

RESIDES-CINCINNATI. OHIO

Brandon recently finished a national tour, playing bass with his band The Dead Hate The Living, and is currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio pursuing music, photography, and printmaking.

Hickle was studying Fine Arts at the University of Cincinnati at the college of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), where he met Hyland and first appeared in the bLoNd cHiLi film “Been There, Done That”, playing two of the main characters, a nameless skater, and a maniac pickup truck driving shop hand. During the filming of “Been There, Done That”, Brandon’s Chevy S10 windshield was smashed by a thrown Big Wheel in a shot that was never used for the film. But that was not the last sacrifice / contribution he made for bLoNd cHiLi. He went on to appear in several more shorts, which include contributing creative input and a performance to 2001’s “Presto Majesto”, and playing bass at a variety of live performances as his “Hoof” character with Tracy, Dean, & Jesus and The Magic Star Travelers.

With Brandon’s enthusiasm for guerilla-style stunts and his natural ability for goofy body language, he has been a major source of humor in a variety of bLoNd cHiLi projects.
