Ben Hotchkiss the Rock Influence
July 18, 2007

An odd reference to Ben Hotchkiss and The Duckhills came up in The Onion's A/V Club section, in an interview with Britt Daniel of the band Spoon. Here's the blurb:

AVC: When you first started playing, you used to wear sunglasses onstage. Was that because you were uncomfortable in front of an audience?

BD: Actually, I think I wore sunglasses because I thought it was cool, and then I realized that it's not the only way to be cool. Of course, I still wear them if we're outside and it's real bright. But I think I saw Ben [Hotchkiss] from The Real Heroes, and he was in a band called The Duckhills where he wore sunglasses onstage. I thought, "Wow, this guy looks awesome." It made a big impression. And of course, I was really into Lou Reed.

Rock on!
