Meet cleopatrick, the heavy alt-rock duo that’s changing the game (yup, the ‘c’ is lower case). Here’s a bit about them in their own, lower case, words. I assume that caps lock keys are hard to come by in the wilds of Ontario…
Simple things first – where are you guys from?
we are from the very small town of Cobourg, ON, Canada.
How did you meet?
we met on our first day of kindergarten at st. michael’s elementary school.
How long have you been playing as a band?
we have been playing music together for about 12 years total, and in this band for 3 years now.
Before you get sick of being asked… where does the band name come from?
when we were initially brainstorming ideas, luke kind of just came up with it. i didn’t really like it at first but over time it grew on me.
What are your influences?
i believe that everything we experience influences us. we try to take the world as it is and depict it in our own words and views through our music. music wise, our biggest influences would be highly suspect, ready the prince, and brockhampton.
Describe your music. What makes you unique?
our music is honest. a lot of rock music (like all genres of music) these days tend to glorify and exaggerate lifestyle. we write about how or what we feel. we like our music to be heavy and have weight, whether that is referring to the instrumentation or not.
Do you have any particular lyrical themes?
we have both had relatively “normal” lives – growing up no matter where you are or what your circumstances may be, you feel things. so we just make honest music about things we’ve lived through or seen.
What’s your live show like? How many shows have you played?
we like to keep the live show as high energy as possible. if we are having fun, then the crowd is having fun and if the crowd is having fun we have an even better time. we’ve played at least 150 shows.
What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen or done at a live show?
luke has crowd surfed while playing guitar and successfully made it down for the last chorus of “city kids” twice now. i don’t think it gets much better than that honestly.
