BAND PROFILES

  • Nineball  – www.martylucas.com/nineball.cfm
    Nineball is a band that was formed in 2003 by Marty Lucas.  Marty was a sound engineer at a popular Phoenix club and saw hundreds of musicians a week.  After getting the itch to play again, Marty started to put together the best hired guns in the Phoenix Metro area to form a band to take over the cover scene. Nineball’s mission has always been the same…”Provide rock and roll that everyone wants to hear.  Be versatile enough to be thrown into any situation for a rock band and thrive…” Nineball succeeds in this mission every time…
    Nineball has Natalie Martinez to cover all of the female rock and roll.  All of your favorite female rock tunes are taken care of…Everything from classic rock of Heart to the newest hit song by Katy Perry is covered. Marty Lucas takes care of guitars as well as all of the male vocals.  All American Reject? Got it…Matchbox 20?  Covered…Pink Floyd?  Nails it…Just as Natalie does, Marty sings it like the original artist but only better. Nineball is rounded out by the best rhythm section around.  Brandon Overly and Steven Stipech keep the entire backbone of the band strong.  Brandon has played drums in many different bands and is in high demand as a studio session drummer as well as a fill-in drummer.  Steven, an accomplished bassist, knows just what to do to make Nineball pulse, slam and groove through every song with ease. There is no other cover rock band that can do justice to a huge variety of songs like Nineball.  They provide danceable rock and roll that everyone wants to hear and are versatile enough to be thrown into any situation and thrive… Everytime…
