Short summary:

To celebrate new beginnings, San Francisco's Sunset Crew and Honey Soundsystem will combine forces this December 31st for New Years Eve 2011 at the much talked about Public Works space. The two crews come together to shine a light on the striking similarities they share for an evening of sun-worship and heavy dancing. Along with the handful of accomplished resident DJs, Honey and Sunset will fly out two artists worthy to reign over such a celebratory night, the timeless sounds of Tim Sweeney (DFA / Beats In Space / NYC) and rising new talent of Kim Ann Foxman (Hercules & Love Affair/MR.INTL).

Full Summary

:: eleven :: the number to symbolize renewal ::

The coming new year represents opportunity for change; growth set into motion after the last ten revolutions around the sun. To celebrate new beginnings, and the number "11" San Francisco's Sunset Crew and Honey Soundsystem will join forces on December 31st for New Years Eve 2011 at the much anticipated and highly acclaimed Public Works. These two musical camps will come together to shine a beacon to revitalize lost and disenchanted souls with an evening of sun-worship and heavy dancing. Joining the handful of accomplished resident DJs, Honey and Sunset will usher in two artists worthy to hold court over such an auspicious night--Tim Sweeney (DFA/Beats In Space/NYC) and rising new talent Kim Ann Foxman (Hercules & Love Affair/MR.INTL).

Celebrating 11 years on air, NYC's Tim Sweeney, of Beats In Space radio fame, joins us to play his favorite tunes from 2010 and of decades beyond. Similar to the cult status Sunset™ has earned after 16 years of throwing critical events, Sweeney is revered by many and has quickly earned international status for his uncompromising love of timeless sounds and dedication to breaking new acts through his radio program and DJ-sets. Considered at one time to be DFA's official DJ, he has since gone on to release a successful line of "disco-edits" and becoming A&R to many others with the start of his BIS record label. Tim Sweeney's charisma and enthusiasm illuminates dancefloors across the world earning him the reputation as the crowd-pleaser who miraculously keeps dancers smiling while pushing the envelope with cutting edge demos and white label mutant disco.

Championing the end of 2010 with the successful release of her debut EP "Creature" and the completion of the "Blue Songs" Hercules & Love Affair's sophomore album, along with a rock solid year of non-stop-touring, Kim Ann Foxman is no doubt the "it" girl. By far one of Honey Soundsystem's most celebrated guest discaires, Kim is the friendliest face of a new generation of underground dance producers. By simultaneously paying tribute and flipping dance music history on its head, Kim has captured the attention of both the jaded and the ironic to show them what it looks like to have fun again. The lead singer of Hercules & Love Affair, Kim has become an icon, representing a new breed of artists not only taking the stage to empower others, but making music and art because they are so empowered. As a DJ, her obsession to carve deeper into the definition of "classic house" has landed her on the other side, now bearing the torch and redefining our notions of sound with her solo productions.

With a full house, Honey™ and Sunset™ cannot wait to reset the calendar with you once more for an evening celebrating another landmark year for the "San Francisco Sound." "Rays" a glass of Champagne to another trip around the sun and to new dance partnerships becoming family.

Reminder: Billy Bowers runway fashion show at Steven Wolf Fine Arts @ Fri Dec 31 8pm - 11pm (Queer Things)

Billy Bowers runway fashion show at Steven Wolf Fine Arts

Steven Wolf Fine Arts
2747 19th Street, A
San Francisco, CA

"Walt Disney was Homosexual"

Billy Bowers makes clothes for parade floats, nightclub stages and candy-colored hallucinations. Trashy, colorful, plastic, gorgeous, the costumes are ideal for drag queens and people who want to shout without opening their mouths. "I was born to be cheap and vulgar," said Bowers, and he's proven it over a 40 year career: in the '60s, he made acid-trip tranny clothes for the Cockettes; in the '70s glam rock costumes for Alice Co...oper, Mick Jagger and Salvador Dali. Later on he began documenting underground gay culture and from these investigations studded leather wall hangings dotted with photos of S & M scenes emerged.

"I'm a tramp and a slut and a drug addict," said Bowers once, who in person is extremely low-key and polite. He has lived in New York, San Francisco, Key West and New Orleans. He's seen high times working with the Rolling Stones, and hard times working in cheap hotels to pay the rent. His new work captures all these aesthetic moments in one audacious, confident vision, and it will be on display New Years Eve at Steven Wolf Fine Arts in San Francisco, where the gallery will host a special one-night runway event and party. After the opening, the clothes will be fitted to mannequins and shown in the gallery alongside the wall hangings.

Unfettered by those pesky distinctions between commercial craft and fine art, Bowers negotiates the heavily guarded border between fashion and assemblage with the same ease that he traversed gender boundaries with the Cockettes. You could cut up his pants and mount them on a wall or sew up the wall hangings into a jacket and it wouldn't diminish their impact. They are made for both men and women but often worn by people somewhere in between. With Bowers, it's art and fashion, male and female, serious and fun, just like the vintage Hollywood Star headline screaming from the butt of the most garish pair of pink and black hot pants ever: SUPERSTARS WHO WERE FORMER HOMOSEXUALS.

In the lounge, Steven Wolf Fine Arts presents photos of the Cockettes and the Angels of Light from a never-before-seen series by San Francisco artist Roger Anderson. In 1972, Goldie Glitters got Anderson a backstage pass at the Palace Theater so he could photograph the acid-inspired, gender-rebellion performance collective. The young photographer asked the performers to pose as though they were on a Vogue magazine shoot. Not exactly shy, they obliged. The result is a blend of high-fashion camp and backstage drama. One minute you're in a Vanity Fair layout, the next you're in a Playbill bio. The photos don't gawk at the performers, whose drug, dress and laissez faire stage antics made them an alien spectacle even to 1960s San Francisco. Nor do they linger over them with the intimacy of a friendly biographer. Rather, Anderson intuited what mainstream fashion designers would do with the Cockettes decades later, when their myth was revived by a thrilling documentary—he transformed their politics sexual and otherwise into fashion codes. While not shying away from the bearded glitter of their gender confusion, the Cockettes in these photos come across as friendly circus folk dressed up for Carnivale. Gone is the trampy otherness, the scary sexual pioneering and the free food/free theater ideology: these Cockettes are star struck, stage brats, ready for their close-up with a mainstream culture that wouldn't be ready for them for another four decades.

Reminder: West Coast Premiere of Coraline by SF Playhouse @ Fri Dec 31 8pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

West Coast Premiere of Coraline by SF Playhouse

The SF Playhouse (Bill English, Artistic Director; Susi Damilano, Producing Director) are thrilled to announce casting for the West Coast Premiere (and only second presentation) of Coraline which will fill the previously unannounced slot in their 2010-11 season.

http://www.sfplayhouse.org/season1011/coraline.php

The cast will star twelve year old, Maya Donato (Annie, Broadway by the Bay) in the title role and Susi Damilano, Jackson Davis*, Maureen McVeery*, Stacy Ross*, Brian Degan Scott and Brian Yates Sharber*.

Bill English will direct, Erika Chong Shuch will choreograph and Robert Moreno will be music director. The play will also include puppets created by Chris White. Costumes by Valera Coble and light design by Michael Oesch.

Poor bored Coraline. She's left to rattle 'round her perpetually distracted, workaholic parents' house all by her lonesome. But late one night, her dreams of a better reality come true as she opens a big, carved, wooden door at the far end of the drawing room and passes into a perfect replica of her own world. When she's greeted there by a vastly loving Other Mother and a kindly Other Father, she's thrilled! But as the rats start to creep from the floorboards, and the way home becomes increasingly unclear, Coraline begins to suspect that, perhaps, all is not as perfect as it seems...

A musical like no other, Coraline sprang from the minds of three of the most wildly popular cult figures of our time. Adapted from the terrifying children's book by Neil Gaiman (author of the international sensation Sandman), this tale of menace and mayhem was set to music and lyrics by smart-rock iconoclast Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, and boasted a book by celebrated downtown actor/playwright, David Greenspan (She Stoops to Comedy, Dead Mother), who served double-duty as the villainous Other Mother in the original off-Broadway premiere.

Stephin Merritt (Composer) releases albums under the band names the Magnetic Fields, the 6ths, the Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes. With his band The Magnetic Fields, Merritt has written, produced and recorded eight albums to date. Their 1999 album 69 Love Songs was a 3-disc masterwork which garnered Merritt widespread acclaim, including "best of" year-end lists in Spin, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post and most other major national publications. In 2002, Merritt signed to Nonesuch Records. The Magnetic Fields performed as part of Lincoln Center's 'American Songwriters' series and at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music's 'Next Wave of Song'. Merritt has composed original music and lyrics for three music theater pieces directed by Chen Shi-Zheng; The Orphan of Zhao in 2003 for the Lincoln Center Festival; Peach Blossom Fan, produced at Cal Arts in 2004; and My Life As a Fairy Tale, at the Lincoln Center Festival in 2005. Merritt composed the score for the academy award nominated film Pieces of April (dir. Peter Hedges) and for the independent film Eban and Charley, and released soundtrack albums for each. His song "The Book of Love," was performed by Peter Gabriel and appears in the film Shall We Dance. He has composed incidental music for the HarperCollins' audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket and for Neil Gaiman's Coraline, and subsequently released an album Songs from A Series of Unfortunate Events. In 2008, Magnetic Fields toured in the US and Europe to support their new album, Distortion, on Nonesuch records. Additional information on Merritt and his work can be found at www.houseoftomorrow.com.

David GreenSPAN (Book writer / Other Mother) was previously seen at MCC in José Rivera's Sueño. Other credits include The Beebo Brinker Chronicles (Hourglass), Obie for his performances in Some Men (Second Stage) and Goethe's Faust (Target Margin), The Wax (Playwrights Horizons), Lipstick Traces (Foundry), The Boys in the Band (Obie) and his plays Jack, The Home Show Pieces and 2 Samuel 11, Etc., (Home) Dead Mother (Public, TJT), She Stoops to Comedy (SF Playhouse, Playwrights Horizons, Obie), The Myopia (Foundry) and The Argument (Target Margin, Obie). An alumnus of New Dramatists, he has received Revson, McKnight, Guggenheim, Lucille Lortel Foundation fellowships and an Alpert Award in the Arts

Reminder: West Coast Premiere of Coraline by SF Playhouse @ Thu Dec 30 8pm - 9pm (Queer Things)

West Coast Premiere of Coraline by SF Playhouse

The SF Playhouse (Bill English, Artistic Director; Susi Damilano, Producing Director) are thrilled to announce casting for the West Coast Premiere (and only second presentation) of Coraline which will fill the previously unannounced slot in their 2010-11 season.

http://www.sfplayhouse.org/season1011/coraline.php

The cast will star twelve year old, Maya Donato (Annie, Broadway by the Bay) in the title role and Susi Damilano, Jackson Davis*, Maureen McVeery*, Stacy Ross*, Brian Degan Scott and Brian Yates Sharber*.

Bill English will direct, Erika Chong Shuch will choreograph and Robert Moreno will be music director. The play will also include puppets created by Chris White. Costumes by Valera Coble and light design by Michael Oesch.

Poor bored Coraline. She's left to rattle 'round her perpetually distracted, workaholic parents' house all by her lonesome. But late one night, her dreams of a better reality come true as she opens a big, carved, wooden door at the far end of the drawing room and passes into a perfect replica of her own world. When she's greeted there by a vastly loving Other Mother and a kindly Other Father, she's thrilled! But as the rats start to creep from the floorboards, and the way home becomes increasingly unclear, Coraline begins to suspect that, perhaps, all is not as perfect as it seems...

A musical like no other, Coraline sprang from the minds of three of the most wildly popular cult figures of our time. Adapted from the terrifying children's book by Neil Gaiman (author of the international sensation Sandman), this tale of menace and mayhem was set to music and lyrics by smart-rock iconoclast Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields, and boasted a book by celebrated downtown actor/playwright, David Greenspan (She Stoops to Comedy, Dead Mother), who served double-duty as the villainous Other Mother in the original off-Broadway premiere.

Stephin Merritt (Composer) releases albums under the band names the Magnetic Fields, the 6ths, the Gothic Archies, and Future Bible Heroes. With his band The Magnetic Fields, Merritt has written, produced and recorded eight albums to date. Their 1999 album 69 Love Songs was a 3-disc masterwork which garnered Merritt widespread acclaim, including "best of" year-end lists in Spin, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post and most other major national publications. In 2002, Merritt signed to Nonesuch Records. The Magnetic Fields performed as part of Lincoln Center's 'American Songwriters' series and at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music's 'Next Wave of Song'. Merritt has composed original music and lyrics for three music theater pieces directed by Chen Shi-Zheng; The Orphan of Zhao in 2003 for the Lincoln Center Festival; Peach Blossom Fan, produced at Cal Arts in 2004; and My Life As a Fairy Tale, at the Lincoln Center Festival in 2005. Merritt composed the score for the academy award nominated film Pieces of April (dir. Peter Hedges) and for the independent film Eban and Charley, and released soundtrack albums for each. His song "The Book of Love," was performed by Peter Gabriel and appears in the film Shall We Dance. He has composed incidental music for the HarperCollins' audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket and for Neil Gaiman's Coraline, and subsequently released an album Songs from A Series of Unfortunate Events. In 2008, Magnetic Fields toured in the US and Europe to support their new album, Distortion, on Nonesuch records. Additional information on Merritt and his work can be found at www.houseoftomorrow.com.

David GreenSPAN (Book writer / Other Mother) was previously seen at MCC in José Rivera's Sueño. Other credits include The Beebo Brinker Chronicles (Hourglass), Obie for his performances in Some Men (Second Stage) and Goethe's Faust (Target Margin), The Wax (Playwrights Horizons), Lipstick Traces (Foundry), The Boys in the Band (Obie) and his plays Jack, The Home Show Pieces and 2 Samuel 11, Etc., (Home) Dead Mother (Public, TJT), She Stoops to Comedy (SF Playhouse, Playwrights Horizons, Obie), The Myopia (Foundry) and The Argument (Target Margin, Obie). An alumnus of New Dramatists, he has received Revson, McKnight, Guggenheim, Lucille Lortel Foundation fellowships and an Alpert Award in the Arts
