As part of the Museum\u2019s biennial celebration of the borough, Queens International 2016, the Queens Museum is partnering with Ridgewood venue Trans-Pecos to present Becoming New Objects, a series of concerts and experimental music events. The program features a broad range of emerging and established performers whose work engages with the notion of \u201cpossible futures.\u201d The events will feature surprising pairings that challenge distinctions between genres, media, and communities.<\/p>\n

The May 14th concert is presented by Chillin Island, a collective of Queens born and bred musicians and artists that host a weekly program on Know-Wave radio. Chillin Island was founded by Ashok Kondabolu (aka Dap) and hosted with rappers Despot (Alec Reinstein) and Lakutis (Aleksey Weintraub). Queens rapper Heems (Himanshu Suri) headlines with Despot, the legend from 108th Street. Noise-rock supergroup Spanish Broads will reunite for the first time in six years, followed by a cohort of New York rappers: Flushing-bred Bangladeshi Big Baby Gandhi, Uptown\u2019s own Lakutis, and Brooklyn\u2019s Your Old Droog. Closing out the night is a DJ set from Total Freedom, with additional music provided by King Solomon.<\/p>\n
