What my Loyal Subjects are saying!:
"Many of us would have paid double to hear more of Prince Poppycock. The powdered wigged crooner would've been a rock star in rococo France, complete with his marvelously custom made suit by the costumer of the Los Angeles Opera, gold sparkly stilettos from one of the hooker shoe shops in Hollywood, and a headpiece featuring the grandest cork ever. By night's end our top had been definitely popped."

"John Quale shines as the glam vamp opera diva Prince Poppycock, a Louis IV confection or occasional Nancy Sinatra-esque chanteur/chanteuse in gold glitter boots with world-class vocal talent. No lip-syncing for Mr. Quale, who is a true artist and transforms himself Klaus Nomi style once he graces the stage. Nina Hagen would be proud, as would Diamanda Galas....Prince Poppycock could surely out-diva Paris Hilton any day"
-by Roy Rogers Oldenkamp for WEHONEWS.COM
"From the first time I saw his MySpace photo, he became the person I'd most like to meet. Then I saw him live- out of his royal drag- when he appeared as none other than Jesus Christ at the Steve Allen Theater's "The Beastly Bombing". I was in awe of his operatic skills, and flawless (and hairless) dancer's body. Then I saw him perform his brand of baroque pop in his pantaloons and powdered wig and was instantly converted into a hardcore disciple of the Poppy that is Cock! Thank goodness he found his way to Tinseltown and is confounding audiences with a new kind of hip - one covered in lace and pink satin. What better way to outrage the aging punk rockers?"
-Paper Magazine by Ann Magnuson
"John Quale steals the show as Jesus"
-Broadway World
"Part randy dandy, part rock star, part drunken courtesan, Poppycock instantly owns the audience with but a glance and a wiggle of bedazzled pantaloons, and that’s just the beginning. His operatic prowess, glamourous costumes and ostentatious prose leave not a heart unstirred. A masterpiece of self-transformation, the Prince is also recording artist John Quale, but I’m secretly hoping Poppycock will take over completely one day, to reign supreme in a glittery victory of feathers and gold spandex."
Zoetica for Coilhouse.net
"Along with the chance of finding a topless organ player, a live mermaid revue or, if you're really lucky, Prince Poppycock, a 6-foot-tall singing aristocrat-androgyne in brocade, silk and pantaloons. "
-LA Weekly
John Quale has been singing from the time he could speak. At age 11 he had his first professional gig at the Kennedy Center with the Washington Opera's children choir. He continued his studies at the highly competitive Interlochen Arts Camp, and performed and toured with musicals and choirs throughout high school and college.
In his teenage years John developed a love for writing music. Enamoured with David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Opera, Madrigals, Gregorian Chant, the Smiths and Gilbert and Sulivan he started to write and record his own music. During college he become the lead singer and songwriter for the Chicago synth-pop band Endora. After moving to Los Angeles he wrote released and performed his solo debut album. "Worldview", now available on i Tunes.
In Los Angeles, John Played the role of Jesus to great critical acclaim in the smash musical "The Beastly Bombing" which won the LA Weekly Theater Award for Best Musical, and which enjoyed two short runs Off Broadway in NYC.
In 2006 Prince Poppycock was born. At the time John was studying Opera, had just completed learning the Figaro aria, 'Largo al Factotum'. When a friend asked John to perform the aria at her nightclub there was only one stipulation: he must wear a wig. John decided to perform as a powdered-wigged baroque dandy, and highlight how the song was about being a fabulous hairdresser (it really is!). Prince Poppycock was born!
Prince Poppycock was an instant success, appearing at prime Los Angeles venues like the Redcat, where he opened for revered performance artist Ann Magnuson, and at the Orpheum where he opened for the Dresden Dolls.
Popppycock has graced stages across the country including Las Vegas, San Francisco, New Orleans, New York City, and Jamaica.
John continues to work actively on both Prince Poppycock as well as his solo project. He is currently working with Kristian Hoffman (of The Mumps and Klaus Nomi note) on his debut album.
