This Alison didn't fall down anything; she jumped head first down the rabbit hole and landed straight on the decks. Armed with turntables, a killer vibe and an open mind, Alison turns countless dance floors across Australia into your favourite kind of Wonderland: more beats, less croquet.
Beginning with a background in indie and classical, Wonderland's best card is her eclecticism. Throughout her youth she toured Europe as a principal cellist for the Sydney Youth Orchestra and later played bass in a successful local indie band.
After inking a global deal with EMI, Wonderland released her debut compilation record - "Welcome To Wonderland" mid 2012, while her much anticipated first original's album is due out very soon! If the success of her remixes is anything to go by the record is set to be a game changer.
Wonderland has performed in LA at the official Grammy's Afterparty, all throughout Ibiza on top of MOS and the Brit Awards Afterparty in London. In Australia she has torn up main stages at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Southbound Festival, Stereosonic, Field Day, Parklife (nationally), Good Vibrations Festival, Harbourlife, Sydney Fashion Week, Future Music Festival, Coaster Festival, Secret Garden Festival and more, not to mention her sellout headline national tours.
The end of 2012 saw Wonderland taking the highly prestigious summer festival time slots. Playing main stage at Falls Festival in a headline slot after Hot Chip to a capacity crowd, Supporting PNAU Live at Wonderland Festival in Perth & again destroying the headline time slot after SBTRKT to a heaving tent at Southbound Festival this all within 1 WEEK!
Wonderland is the party, rumour has it she never sleeps and is reasonably good friends with Oprah.

Alison Wonderland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the streetlight where you came to me
In the middle of your high
Hearing all the words you said
But you don't remember them
I'm the one who never lied
They will always tell you "Yes," but I'll tell you "No"
They will always see the best but we're going home
Together, together
Oh, it's easy to be fooled
Into all the late night games
Is it ever feeling real?
We can change and make it right
If you ever see the light
Tell the devil it's a deal
They will always tell you "Yes," but I'll tell you "No"
Forever, forever
They will always see the best but we're going home
Together, together
They will always tell you "Yes," but I'll tell you "No"
Forever, forever
They will always see the best but we're going home
Together, together
Together, together
Together, together
Forever
Together
Alison Wonderland's song "No" is a reflection on the challenges of living in a world where it is easy to be fooled and manipulated into playing games in the late night. It speaks to a sense of disillusionment and a desire to break free from the dishonesty and superficiality that surrounds us. The lyrics describe a moment in which the singer is standing under a streetlight with someone, both under the influence and yet the singer is the one who remembers everything while the other person "don't remember them" (the words they said). The phrase "I'm the one who never lied" implies that there is deception at play between these two individuals, but it is not enough to fool the singer.
The chorus of the song is a statement of defiance. The singer refuses to follow the crowd and say "Yes" to everything, instead choosing to say "No". They acknowledge that others will always see the best in situations, but they are determined to go "home" to a place of authenticity and honesty, together. The lines "We can change and make it right / If you ever see the light / Tell the devil it's a deal" suggest a willingness to confront the darkness and make a deal, potentially implying that the singer is ready to take on corruption, dishonesty, and toxicity on a larger scale.
Overall, "No" is a powerful, introspective song that speaks to feelings of disillusionment and a desire for truth and authenticity in a world where it is easy to be misled.

[Verse 1]
I can picture everything
The streetlight where you came to me
In the middle of your high
Hearing all the words you said
But you don't remember them
I know I will never lie
[Chorus]
They will always tell you "Yes"
But I'll tell you "No"
Forever, forever
They will always see the best
But we're going home together, together

Always easy to be fooled into all the late night games
Is it ever feeling real?
We can change and make it right
If you ever see the light
Tell the devil it's a deal

Forever, forever
