Behind The Nine Ball was formed in late 1998 as a "band" format to encompass the solo musical output of Mike Litzinger, formerly of the northwestern PA band Yellow No. 5 (which was at that point slowly dissolving and would eventually call it quits by August 1999).

All of Behind The Nine Ball's studio output on their first album was completely written, performed, and recorded by Mike without outside assistance. However, sporadic live performances as a full band have included such members as Steve Gramley & Nathan Gramley, both formerly of Yellow No. 5 (and other bands), Jim Kipp (bass guru), Jesse Lavery (formerly of The Subclavians), and Bob Bazylak (formerly of Dick's Loft), as well as various special guests over the years. Later studio releases have featured one or more additional members joining Mike on the recordings.

The band's first full-length album release, titled “Love In Stereo” was released September 9, 2009. A Nirvana tribute album “The Nevermind Sessions” was released on September 24, 2011, followed by the “Bold Crush EP” December 12, 2012. The band released their album “Live At The Blue Planet” in January of 2013 and is currently planning to release a new album “Pet Gods” in 2014. Read more on Last.fm.
