The Rudyard Kipling
From Louisville Punk/Hardcore History
The Rud has housed many shows and events over the years, and the owners have a genuine, heatfelt appreciation for all types of music. Most shows at this venue are 21+, however, there have been a couple of all-ages events there over the years, including 2 Black Cross shows (one of which was Rob and Becca Pennington's wedding reception which also saw a reunion by Big Wheel). A bulk of their shows are indie rock bands.
