Cleopatrics live in Philadelphia

Experience Cleopatrics live on July 20th

Cleopatrics, a Canadian rock duo consisting of Ian Fraser and Vaughn Waters, will be performing at the venue also named Cleopatrics in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 20, 2026. Their music is generally categorized as alternative rock, often incorporating elements of blues, grunge, and hip-hop influenced drum programming. A defining characteristic is their raw, stripped-down sound – typically featuring distorted guitar tones layered over heavy, electronically produced beats.

Formed in 2017 in Hamilton, Ontario, Cleopatrics initially gained attention through self-released singles and independent online promotion. They’ve built a following by prioritizing direct engagement with fans via platforms like YouTube and Twitch, often sharing works-in-progress and behind-the-scenes content. The band's approach emphasizes a DIY ethos; they handle much of their own production and visual presentation.

Their discography includes the EP *Cleopatrics* (2018) and the full-length album *November* (2021), followed by *Mood* (2023).
