Kano y Los Buldogs



This Uruguayan quartet started out in 1964 as Los Epsilon. After recording a single for the Clave label, they relocated to Buenos Aires in Argentina. There they released various singles and two garage-orientated beat albums sung in English which are now very rare. Before the third album Kano, their singer, forced them to rename themselves as Kano Y Los Bulldogs. Their eponymous album featured the hit Sobre Un Vidrio Mojado. They returned to Uruguay prior to their final album, which was only released in that country. This largely featured mainstream pop/rock.
They released several singles, mostly in picture sleeves.
Psychedelic garage from Uruguay. Highly Recommended.

LOS BULLDOGS: Nengo (guitarra líder), Kano (segunda guitarra y voz), Jorge (bajo), Ricardo (batería). Grabaron en 1964 con el nombre de The Epsilons un SP en el sello Clave de Montevideo y luego cambiaron su nombre a Los Bulldogs. Se radicaron en Buenos Aires, donde realizaron varios simples con covers en inglés, como "Black is Black", de Los Bravos, incluido en "Los 16 Hits del Momento", un LP de varios intérpretes de RCA en 1966. Después de grabar dos LP comenzaron a presentarse como Kano y los Bulldogs, obteniendo cierto éxito con "Sobre Un Vidrio Mojado" en 1969. Regresaron a Uruguay, donde editaron para Sondor su último LP ("Carita con Carita") en 1972.
