Cleopatra Entertainment Announces The U.S. Theatrical Premier of COCAINE WEREWOLF Comedy/Horror Film at Historic Arcadia Theatre in Wellsboro, PA on Friday, July 5th 2024

Cleopatra Entertainment has released their official Trailer for their latest horror/comedy venture COCAINE WEREWOLF that was filmed in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania – a small town with historic charm that’s nestled in the northern section of Pennsylvania’s mysterious Appalachian Mountains – and has announced its official U.S. Theatrical premier for Friday, July 5th, 2024 with a second engagement on Saturday, July 6th.

COCAINE WEREWOLF was written by Tyger Torrez and directed by cult film master Mark Polonia – who’s notorious for nearly 100 film credits on his resume and who teaches Film Production at nearby Mansfield University – and produced by Cleopatra’s Tim Yasui and David Sterling from Sterling Entertainment. The film stars Marie DeLorenzo (Amityville Island, Invasion Of The Empire Of The Apes), Jeff Kirkendall (Sharkula, Return To Splatter Farm), Titus Himmelberger (Cocaine Shark, Sharkenstein), Ken Van Sant (Bigfoot Vs Zombies, Jurassic Prey), Brice Kennedy (Splatter Beach, Razorteeth), Yolie Canales (Jurassic Shark 3, Amityville In Space) and Noyes Lawton (Jurassic Exorcist, Bride of the Werewolf).

In COCAINE WEREWOLF, cocaine, cash and a crew filming a low-budget horror movie in the eerie woods of northern Pennsylvania clash when an unexpected visit from a blood-thirsty werewolf literally enters the picture – with deadly results! A Gothic Industrial Rock soundtrack especially created for the film (courtesy of Cleopatra Records) perfectly sets the mood for one wild and crazy howling at the moon affair that DEADLINE called “a thrilling yet humorous ride”!

The original motion picture soundtrack includes music from The 69 Cats, Front Line Assembly, Pink Fairies, Switchblade Symphony, Hawkestrel, Synaesthesia, The Brains, Mike Pinera, Hollywood After Dark & more!

The U.S. theatrical premiere is set for Friday, July 5th at the historic Arcadia Theater in downtown Wellsboro, Pennsylvania with a second screening planned for Saturday, July 6th. Built in 1921, the theater is located just steps from the mountains where COCAINE WEREWOLF was filmed. A live, in-person Q&A session with Director Mark Polonia and Cast members will take place immediately following the screening. The official release date for the Home Entertainment Blu Ray and DVD versions will be August 13th, 2024, followed by a VOD and Cable TV release this coming November 2024.

Power Pop Icon MATTHEW SWEET Leads A Cast Of All-Stars And Legends On A Trip To Revisit THE BEATLES’ “ABBEY ROAD!”

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Power Pop Icon MATTHEW SWEET Leads A Cast Of All-Stars And Legends On A Trip To Revisit THE BEATLES’ “ABBEY ROAD!”

Album features performances by Jellyfish’s Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Vulfpeck’s Charles Jones, British guitar legend Snowy White, Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens, GnR cohort Ron Bumblefoot Thal, Paul Shafer, God Of Hellfire Arthur Brown and lots more!

Los Angeles, CA – It probably comes as no surprise that Athens GA indie rock icon Matthew Sweet has a fondness for The Beatles. From his 1986 debut album to his early ‘90s breakthrough, including the MTV smash hit “Girlfriend,” on through to his most recent albums, Sweet has pulled off the same kind of melodically driven, seemingly straightforward but stealthily complex songs that turned the Liverpudlian foursome into a worldwide phenomena and one of the most influential artists of all-time. Recently, Sweet was invited to participate in a truly remarkable revisitation of The Beatles’ incredible crowning glory, the brilliant Abbey Road, and the results couldn’t be more satisfying.

Sweet sings, plays guitar and even adds a little bass to a brand new version of Abbey Road’s punchiest blast of rock psychedelia, “Polythene Pam.” The fourth segment of the album’s magnificent Side B medley, “Pam” is the perfect showcase for Sweet’s deft interplay of rapid fire vocals and powerfully overdriven guitars. Assisting in the track’s creation is fellow singer/guitarist Jason Berk, who adds texture with his acoustic guitar, and Fernando Perdomo who supports Sweet’s guitar with some tasteful Hammond organ. Perhaps the only thing that can be said against the track is that, with a running time of 1:27, it leaves too soon. But then, that’s what the repeat button is for!

Stream/download the single: https://orcd.co/matthewsweet_polythenepam

Abbey Road Reimagined, produced by Perdomo and packed with an astounding array of musical all-stars, will be hitting the digital and physical shelves on August 18. Order your copy today!

Los Angeles Indie Giant CLEOPATRA RECORDS Defy Odds, Celebrate A Stunning THREE DECADES Of Independence!

By glassonyonpr

For Immediate Release

Los Angeles Indie Giant CLEOPATRA RECORDS Defy Odds, Celebrate A Stunning THREE DECADES Of Independence!

Los Angeles, CA – One of the largest and longest lasting independent record labels in existence, Cleopatra Records, are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. What began in 1992 as a small operation out of the garage of founder Brian Perera has since grown into a family of labels representing one of the most diverse catalogs that encompasses a variety of genres with an emphasis on unique and experimental artists. In a time when most small record labels either die out or get bought by a major, Cleopatra Records has managed to survive and thrive as a privately owned entity deftly navigating the seismic shifts in the industry that have caused so many labels to founder.

Primarily known for ushering in the second wave of Gothic and Industrial music with an eclectic roster of artists including Christian Death, Front Line Assembly, Leæther Strip, Rosetta Stone and Corpus Delicti, Cleopatra Records has also been a vital force in promoting underground and British punk rock bands such as The Vibrators, UK Subs, and The Damned as well as ‘80s metal and pop acts like by Quiet Riot, Berlin, Warrant, Missing Persons, Poison’s Bret Michaels and L.A. Guns. In recent years, the Cleopatra label group has expanded in a variety of directions, working with hip hop artists DMX, Vanilla Ice & Onyx as well as iconic artists such as Sly Stone, William Shatner and most recently, the multi-talented Ann-Margret. The label has also become the home label for folk music institution Judy Collins as well as recent Rock Hall Of Fame inductee Todd Rundgren, cult hero Misfits/Danzig singer Glenn Danzig and the new electronic project, Priest, featuring former members of Ghost.

The label will be officially commemorating their anniversary with a special concert event taking place at City Winery in Nashville, TN on May 10. The celebration is to be co-hosted by Cleopatra’s longtime digital distributor, and one of the fastest growing companies in the music industry, The Orchard, who are themselves celebrating an epic 25 years in the biz. The event will feature live performances from Judy Collins herself as well as 3-time Grammy nominee country artist Lorrie Morgan (who has released 2 albums with Cleopatra) and local singer-songwriter Leah Marie Mason.
