Depending on which album you’re listening to, the Easley-based band Revelator has either been an experimental group creating concept albums, post-punk boundary-pushers, or, in their most recent incarnation, a quartet that mixes indie-folk and acoustic-electric rock. Their most recent album, “#Muricana,” is considerably more straightforward than anything they’ve done before, and that’s because it was the first one designed to be played live. “Revelator started out as an online project in 2011,” says singer Jon Rasmussen. “I basically sent out an email to three of my friends and asked if they wanted to make music together. We were all in different locations, so using Dropbox or Google Drive we would email around one part at a time.” Guitarist Heath Lane adds, “Most of it couldn’t be reproduced live.” Eventually, Rasmussen and Lane wanted to turn Revelator into a live band, so they created music that could be played live and recruited a rhythm section. And one of the reasons they’re happy to be playing a festival at a house-show venue like Clemson’s Pablo is that it gives bands making original music a much-needed place to play. “One of the downsides of this area is that there isn’t a huge amount of venues that care about the local scene,” Lane says. “If you’re not playing cover music, it’s a stumbling block. That’s the reason house venues like Pablo and Grandma’s House are so important to us. They offer you a place to put your stuff out there.” –Vincent Harris
