2126 South Preston Street, Louisville, KY 40204

Good Place for older bands to play. Not much chance of this place getting shut down, if you know what I mean. The space has been through several name changes and re-opens over the years. It would also be known as The Crunch Zone in the early 2000s and then would close in 2011. It would be rebranded as The New Vintage from 2012 - 2017 and has remained closed ever since.

The Better Days Bash feat. Bush League, Indignant Few and Son of Dog was originally intended to be hosted at Uncle Pleasant's but was moved to The Vernon Club about a month after the initial announcement.
