David Bowie, Paul Westerberg, Radiohead, Nirvana, Placebo, and Led Zeppelin, among others.

Artist History
Founded in 1998 in a small apartment in Clarion, Pennsylvania (and loosely based in Meadville, Pennsylvania) by Mike Litzinger, Behind The Nine Ball has evolved from a musical side-project that Litzinger created simply to experiment with new ideas outside the creative constraints of his former band, Yellow No. 5, to become the focus of his musical efforts following the demise of that band in late 1999, leaving Litzinger firmly in control of his artistic direction.
