About

The Swinging Buildings was a one-off side project of the Belgian novelty New Wave/synthpop/post-punk band, The Bowling Balls, which recorded one track, "Praying For A Cheaper Christmas," released in December 1981 on the Chantons Noël - Ghosts Of Christmas Past LP compilation by Les Disques Du Crépuscule label. In the spirit of Balls' "mystification" ethos (the band that started as a hoax, progressing from a plot element in the comic strip to a real-life ensemble), the "Swinging Buildings" were initially rumored as a secretive New Order alias. The band's core members, Bert Bertrand and Fred Jannin, also recorded an alternative version of the song as [url=https://discogs.com/artist/4152810]The Piggies[/url], released on Cheaper Christmas 7" single on Les Disques Du Crépuscule the same year.
