Cleopatra Records

Cleopatra Records is a Los Angeles-based independent record label founded in 1992 by entrepreneur and music fan Brian Perera. It has since grown into a family of labels, including Hypnotic Records, Goldenlane, Stardust, Purple Pyramid, Deadline and X-Ray Records, encompassing a variety of genres with emphasis on unique and experimental artists. Expanding its interest in punk, Cleopatra acquired the entire catalog of releases by esteemed San Francisco Bay Area punk label, New Red Archives, formerly owned by Nicky Garratt of UK Subs. The label was home to the debut album of politically charged punk band Anti-Flag, early 80s NY-based hardcore group Kraut, the female fronted act Snap-Her as well as an early project from Sunny Day Real Estate / Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel called Christ On A Crutch. A new Vibrators album is also planned for 2013 and is rumored to have guest appearances by members of Supersuckers, The Dickies, MC5 and The Stranglers. Mailing Address: CLEOPATRA ...
