Greg Trimeloni says friends tell him that his band, Casino Bulldogs, sounds a bit like Queens of the Stone Age, Silversun Pickups and the Strokes mashed up together.Those comparisons aren't far off base, considering the band's fuzzed-out, subterranean, shoegaze-y quality. It's carried into the Bulldog's fourth release, a new six-song EP called "La Bala."
"I'd say this record is definitely a return to our more lo-fi roots," says the singer-guitarist, who formed the band in 2007 and is joined by drummer Brad Pfeuffer and bassist Jason Hahn.
"Some of my favorite albums have a great 'lo-fi' quality to them, such as The Kinks 'Village Green Preservation Society' and Jack Drag's 'Unisex Headwave.' "
OK, those are two albums not often used in the same comparison.
"I feel this album also best represents our music as a whole," Trimeloni continues. "We've always been about writing two-and-a-half-minute rock and roll songs. The songs range from soft and pretty all the way up to loud and dirty."
The band's third album, a concept record called "Descendants of the Glorious Dead," was recorded in three days at a prominent local recording studio. This time, the Bulldogs didn't have a clock running on them, and were able to give "La Bala" a bit more TLC.
\"[Descendants] turned out great, but doing things in a studio means that you have to do it fast. There wasn't much time for fine tuning or adding extra flair. This time around, we wanted to spend more time making the album feel just right, which is why we decided to record ourselves. Working on the songs at home was amazing, because we could spend as much time as we wanted getting every note and sound effect sounding the way we wanted it."
The CD release show is 10 p.m. Saturday at Club Cafe, South Side, with Long Time Darlings and Molehill.
