WANT TO VEND, BUT THE GREMLINS GOT YOUR COIN?

It's a Goblin! Or a Gremln.

We’ve been hearing from a LOT of independent artists and creators who are excited about Wonderplace Alpha—but also a little hesitant. We get it.

  • It’s a first-year event
  • It’s a tough year all around
  • Gremlins stole everyone’s money and turned it into shortbread
  • (Admittedly, it’s very good shortbread. Some of it is banana-flavored.)

If you’re feeling the call to vend but your coin purse is a little light, talk to us.

We don’t want a good creator to miss out just because the goblins are playing tricks with your finances. Let’s see what kind of magic we can work.

Let’s try to make it happen.

Saturday Night with Robert & Skye of ABNEY PARK 

Wonderplace Alpha is proud to present a rare acoustic set by the founding member of Abney Park, Captain Robert and Skye Warden, Abney Park’s genius guitar player. Known worldwide for their sweeping soundscapes and airship-rock anthems, Robert and Skye will take the stage Saturday night for an intimate, unplugged performance unlike anything you’ve heard from Abney Park. This isn’t the full band—this is something rarer. Picture a rambunctious pub,  in a victorian styled future world, story-soaked songs, and a front-row seat to the magic that has helped define a genre.

So what is steampunk, exactly? Imagine a world where fashion stopped in the 1800s—but but victorian technology kept on advancing. Airships float through foggy skies, inventors tinker with impossible machines, and adventurers roam in corsets, brass goggles, and tailored coats. Steampunk isn’t just an aesthetic—it’s a celebration of creativity, rebellion, and hand-built wonder. Abney Park helped bring that world to life through music that tells stories of airship pirates, time travelers, outlaws, and misfits making their own way.

Even if you’ve never heard of steampunk before, we promise this show will speak to something deep in your mythic bones. Whether you’re here for the music, the mystery, or just looking for something different, Robert and Skye’s performance is the perfect entry point—a window into another world. This is your chance to see two iconic performers up close, in the kind of setting that makes fantasy feel real.

Come curious. Leave enchanted. Only at Wonderplace Alpha.

Electric Souls and Vintage Tales: The Mythic Rock Odyssey of Dmitry Wild

Electric Souls and Vintage Tales: The Mythic Rock Odyssey of Dmitry Wild

Dmitry Wild is an anomaly from the norm, between being a musician, rock music song writer, poet, writer and an actor, it’s his ever-present musical persona that leads him on strange, perhaps life saving and interesting adventures. He survived  9/11 by being late to the train to World Trade Center due to a late band practice. Then he escaped the pandemic to the city he fell in love while on his quick tour date at Hudson, NY.

Dmitry Wild has solidified himself as the main writer, composer, guitarist and a performer of all material while the live the shows take on a more theatrical and at times mystical dives when he is accompanied by other musicians.

One of his tracks has been played by the prominent Irish DJ – BP Fallon, who was Bowie’s close friend and toured with Led Zeppelin. Dmitry Wild was named one of the top 23 makers of 2023 by Mountains Magazine. His music has also been reviewed by publications worldwide from Argentina to Germany. 

He has played with Jungle Jim from the Cramps for a short period of time, his songs got featured on a cover of the Classic Rock magazine.

In the early 2022 finally released his long-awaited full-length solo album titled, Electric Souls and the same year he followed up with a collaboration with an electronic producer, under the moniker Dmitry Wild + Houses-in-Motion

At the beginning of 2023,  Dmitry Wild released the single ‘New York Stones‘, a rock ballad dedicated to New York City, following up his 2002 album ‘Electric Souls’, which presented a clever blend of 70’s vintage rock, 80s synths, garage rock, bluesy swash and post-punk DIY ethos.

Towards the end of 2023, New York-based garage rock purveyor Dmitry Wild has released his new single ‘Rock-n-Roll Is My Business’ with ‘Son of a Gun’ as the B-side track. Both tracks are full of spunk and swagger. “Rock-n-Roll is my Business” was followed by a music video filmed at Amsterdam Castle in New York featuring the vocalist from the band,Jesse D Leach (Killswitch Engage)

The track was mixed and mastered by Will Hensley (Coldplay, Travis, Dream Theater, Ben Folds, Shakira, My Morning Jacket, The Wombats).

As for the B-side, ‘Son of a Gun’ is a rock track that is full of swagger,the bright, eclectic music video reflecting the song’s alluring “world is my oyster’ mood.”

In Dec 2023, he earned the spot as one of the Top 23 Makers in ’23 by New York’s own Hudson Valley prime magazine, Mountains.

In Jan 2025, he has signed with Cacaphone Records for the release of his next Full Length titled “Vintage Tales” to be released in the Spring of 2025
