THE BALLS
www.ballsrock.comBand/artist history
The Balls started in the Spring of 2004.
Nick Kane had spent three years lounging in various bands around
Nashville and for most of the 90s he traveled around the world as a
member of country-pop group The Mavericks, collecting a Grammy Award
and selling out 8 nights at the Royal Albert Hall along the way.
It was Nick's desire to play music that had it's own voice, unencumbered
from any commercial trappings, and in Nashville's cold, hard heart he
found the perfect place to develop this dream without distraction. He was
fortunate to find two like-minded cohorts in Rick Taylor, bass; and Joe
Scheibelhoffer, drums; and together they have formed The Balls.
Playing mostly Nicks original compositions the band is forging new paths
in Instrumental Rock.
Their style has been described as garage-prog: on one hand they tackle
very difficult and ambitious arrangements yet the band is driven by a
raw, powerful and ferociously loud rocknroll spirit.
The Balls are known for their passionate live performances and their
ability to take instrumental-music neophytes on a long and winding
journey that rivets the audience to their seats with mouths a-gape and
exhausted after a 90 minute set
.
The listener will hear shades of early Deep Purple; grungy Link Wray;
themes straight out of a Spaghetti Western; breezy Surf melodies; flat out
paint-peeling Rock and even a touch of Pachelbel. And yet, its like youre
hearing it all for the first time.
