The Rumblejetts’ Jud Kite on drums, art and the band’s latest, Motor Honey

Long-running KC rockabilly road warriors the Rumblejetts have seen their share of lineup changes since they formed in 1997. Drummer Jud Kite has been behind the kit for nine years now. In addition to pounding the skins, he does the majority of the artwork for the band. It’s his work you see adorning the cover to the Rumblejetts’ latest album, Motor Honey. The release party for the disc is a free show Thursday, May 9 tonight, Wednesday, May 8, at Knuckleheads. We took a minute to speak with Kite about the band and his artwork.
