    Billy Ball

    Billy Ball was an artistic alias adopted by Belgian journalist and musician, [url=https://discogs.com/artist/3958826]Bert Bertrand[/url] (1955—1983), for his appearances with New Wave/synthpop/post-punk novelty band The Bowling Balls. Initially devised as a purely fictional "favorite group" of the main protagonists in "[url=https://discogs.com/artist/4236274]Germain and us…[/url]" comic strip published by prolific Franco-Belgian magazine Spirou, the Bowling Balls subsequently became a full-fledged independent hoax and ultimately transformed in the real-life music ensemble.
