The Balls: there are no words. there is no damn singing. The Balls: they will bust your pigeonhole upside the head.
The Balls: they will make it up as they go along.
The Balls: these guys can play. one has a grammy.
The Balls: they write their own stuff. each piece is different.
The Balls: they play garage rock. they play prog rock.
The Balls: they will surf rock your ass off. their songs are long.
The Balls: they play songs wIth weird time signatures.
The Balls: you cannot talk or pick up chicks when they play
The Balls: they will pick up the chicks.
The Balls: they will take you on a trip.
The Balls: you will have many musical adventures.
The Balls: you will find what you seek. new questions will be asked.
The Balls: refreshments will be served.
And there's more to the story...
The Balls started in the Spring of 2004.

Nick Kane had spent several years lounging in various bands around
Nashville and for most of the 90’s 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 guitar;
and Joe Scheibelhoffer, drums; together they have formed
The Balls.
Playing mostly Nick’s 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 rock’n’roll 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 and leaves them exhausted, elated and
with mouths agape.
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, it’s like you’re
hearing it all for the first time.
quotes:
"a bona-fide 3 piece rock’n’roll chamber orchestra"
"sounds like a pissed-off Dick Dale”
“it’s like going to school”
