Qween Kong and The Problem With Kids Today share a punk rock bill at Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Sat., Aug. 26. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $7.

Qween Kong is a heavy-hitting, punk group from New Haven, Connecticut that was formed in 2021. Their debut EP, Cockroach, delivers kicking melodies, noisy, larger-than-life rhythm, and a thunderous low end.

With Cara DeLucia on lead vocals and bass, Gillian Basilicato on vocals and guitar, and Melody McCarthy on drums, Qween Kong is a high-octane, powerhouse trio that’ll cut right the fuck through ya.

The Problem with Kids Today is a hot trio of rock ‘n’ roll delinquents with Tate Brooks leading the charge on guitar/vox/mic head-butting, Stone-Cold-Silas Lourenco-Lang on low end bass/vox, and Reena Yu pounding on drums. TPWKT’s fun, wild shows and feverish, fashionable following evoke the Mercer Center Arts era of the New York Dolls. Fast, combustible, lewd and spontaneous – they have all the gems of a fantastic live act. Their debut album "Junk," recorded at Sans Serif Studio in New Haven was released Dec., 2021/ Their most recent release is the song "Validation." Their music can be found on the band’s Bandcamp site as well as major streaming platforms.
