The old adage “drunk words are sober thoughts” is taking on new meaning through a wild performance this weekend by Alison Wonderland.
While enjoying a drunken night at a Renaissance Faire last year, the Australian electronic music virtuoso came up with an idea for a unique tribute to her breakout debut album, Run. This Saturday, she’ll explore a reality where she wrote the record in 1515 instead of 2015.
In celebration of the album’s 10-year anniversary, Wonderland has announced a pop-up DJ set on the Maybower Stage at Southern California’s Renaissance Pleasure Faire. She’s remade Run in medieval form and will be playing “ye olde versions” on phonographs, her management tells EDM.com.
Wonderland herself said the performance will take place on a “strange contraption.” It’s a delicious irony that Run, a spellbinding album conjured from laptops and synths, would’ve branded her a witch in the 1500s but is now being reimagined as medieval magic.
Wonderland’s Renaissance Faire pop-up is scheduled for Saturday, April 19th. You can purchase tickets here.
