Fresh from performances at Lincoln Center and the HOWL Festival in NYC (Oct. 2011), Thrillpeddlers original VICE PALACE cast returns to San Francisco with their smash hit revival, VICE PALACE: The Final Cockettes Musical. This musical mind trip imagines Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" as viewed through the lens of Frederico Fellini, and topped off with truly outrageous costumes, wigs and spectacular gender-bending drag ensemble performances. VICE PALACE follows Divina (played by drag-king star, Leigh Crow), an eccentric socialite who spares no expense to keep her jet-set party guests entertained, while the villagers just beyond the walls of her lavish estate are ravaged by the plague. Each performance must top the next in this bizarre race to escape the one uninvited party guest death! - and look fabulous as they do it.
Originally produced as a 'Nocturnal Dream Show' and performed at midnight in the old Palace Theatre in North Beach on Halloween 1972, Vice palace starred the inimitable Divine and cult star Mink Stole (best known as stars of director John Waters' films), VICE PALACE was written by Martin Worman & Scrumbly Koldewyn, original members from the pioneering, gender-bending performance troupe, The Cockettes. Russell Blackwood, founding member and visionary behind Thrillpeddlers and master in the macabre, directs a cast of San Francisco's most extravagant underground drag performers and divas. VICE PALACE was the fabled and fabulous Cockettes' final stage presentation.
The Cockettes were a gender-bending theatrical troupe who not only originated these outrageous shows, but also exerted a profound influence on the culture of our times, from the phenomenon of midnight movies, to glitter rock stars and their outrageous fashions.

How you can Play Piano Chords: An Introduction
Many people consider they could fast track their playing by only studying the best way to play piano chords. They think that, this way, they will be able to play the music they want speedily and without work.
Now, while it truly is feasible to limit your playing in this way, and while you do not have to be able to read music, you do must be familiar with some elements of how music is written and put together if you are ever going to play your favorite songs properly. And also the beginning point to any study of chords is to find out scales.
What is A SCALE?
Every single note around the piano will be the first note of a scale. Scales are groups of eight successive notes recognized as octaves. Each octave comprises just seven letters from the alphabet and each and every scale begins on a various letter, from A to G. (Obviously, A to G measures only seven notes, the eighth would be the first note an octave larger).
The easiest scale to know is C Key. It's easiest due to the fact it consists of only white notes and has no sharps or flats (black notes). By way of example, to construct the scale of C Major, first of all discover Middle C in your keyboard. That is the white crucial sitting to the left on the group of two black keys inside the middle of the keyboard. The white note to its right is D, the following white note is E, then F and G. Since the letters of notes only go as much as G, the next note begins in the starting from the alphabet and can be a, the seventh note is B as well as the eighth is C an octave higher.
So the scale of C Key is as follows (all white notes):
C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C
Congratulations. You've just learnt your very first scale.
What's A CHORD?
Chords are just a mixture of notes taken from a scale and played simultaneously. To seek out the chord of C Main, take the first note (C), the third note (E) and also the fifth note (G) from the scale and play them all collectively like this:
C - E - G
This rule applies to each and every scale. So, if we commence on the fifth note from the C Significant scale, which is G, the G Significant scale is:
G - A- B - C - D - E - F# (the black note above F) - G
To find the chord of G Main, play the initial note (G), the third note (B) and the fifith note (D) all with each other like this:
G - B - D
The chords described above are the 'root chords' of the scales of C and G Significant respectively. They are called the 'root chords' simply because they start using the key note from the scale in the bottom position. Nevertheless, chords may be played in any combination you select, based on the sound you're attempting to make. So, you may play the three notes of a root chord in a variety of other methods.
For instance, taking the C Key root chord, should you had been to play the third note (E) within the bottom position and the (C) in the leading position, this will be referred to as a first inversion:
E - G - C
Similarly, if you had been to play the fifth note (G) in the bottom position and also the (E) in the leading position, this could be referred to as a second inversion:
G - C - E
WHY PLAY Precisely the same CHORDS DIFFERENTLY?
The application of a specific version of a chord is largely down to personal decision, although it may be easiest to play a chord in a particular way when played with other notes, perhaps by the other hand. But music is about creating various sounds and moods. So you may play a particular chord inversion due to the fact it suits the sound or the mood you wish to create.
CONCLUSION
There are 12 different major scales, so you'll find 12 various key chords, all of them following precisely the same guidelines as for C and G Key. And when you've learnt all of the root chords and their inversions, that is when things get actually exciting. Root chords are just the beginning, or a single from the essential developing blocks of music. When you have discovered the way to play piano chords in the way described above, the world of music creation and improvisation truly does commence to open its doors.
