The newest band for former Radio Birdman guitarist Chris Masuak, Los Revelators, were born in a garage behind the ancient Roman walls of Lugo in Galicia and raised on a diet of scratchy seven-inch singles.
With members from three continents, Los Revlators are a band with international bloodlines and bound by a shared love for hard-edged ‘60s and ‘70s rock and roll. They play it hard and fast, churning out mostly original songs steeped in psychedelia, surf, garage rock and punk and laced with intricate guitar and the unmistakable tones of a Hammond organ.
The debut EP "Revelation" is available here.
Of course, guitarist Chris Masuak is Canadian-born, Australian-raised and Galician-based, having played with legendary bands like Radio Birdman, the New Christs, the Hitmen and the Screaming Tribesmen.
The rolled gold Revelators engine room is Fito (bass) and Bambi, (drums) members of the pioneering Galician garage rock group, Los Contentos. Keyboardist Andres Hensel completes the line-up and is a highly versatile player who was born in Ecuador and now lives in Lugo, playing in Los Zorros and in his own project, Haenselus.
Los Revelators draw on timeless influences like The Sonics, The Seeds, The Music Machine, Steppenwolf, Blue Oyster Cult, the Stooges and The MC5 but produce a sound of their own.
They have an extensive repertoire, made up of their original songs and odd classic cover, sometimes referencing material from their previous groups.
