HELLO. my name is Jennifer Finch. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I have dedicated my life music, visual art + essayist. I love reflecting on cultural production, media, modern mythology, punk rock, fashion, society and self.
No velvet ropes. Not behind glass. No “do not touch” signs. Just pure history in your hands.
📍 Punk Rock Museum, Las Vegas
🎸 Jam Room – open to everyone

Two legendary troublemakers, side by side.
The Ghost Bass (Jennifer Finch’s longtime ride) and Fat Mike’s bass are both living at the Punk Rock Museum — waiting for you to come in and play 'em, and yes, they can be plugged in and played loud by anyone who dares!
“If you continue to war with your past — you break all promises to your future.”

They look great photographed—yours will too! 🥥🥥
It doesn’t hurt. It’s not weird. And honestly?
I go once a year and enjoy it—like a hot date, but for my boobs!
There are so many things in life that feel awkward or easy to put off.
This shouldn’t be one of them.
Take your boobs on a date. 💖💖
I’ve never thought of myself as rebellious.
I’ve just felt like myself.
And maybe that——is the rebellion.

Maybe real rebellion is refusing to disappear. It’s just listening. Maybe it’s turning down the toxic gig. It’s letting your body rest while the world worships hustle. Maybe it’s simply surviving complicated situations with your values intact.
But lately I’ve been asking different questions.
Does rebellion have to be loud?
Is it always the perfect moment, the perfect words?
Does it evolve as we evolve?
Can it be quiet? Can it work in the background?
What does rebellion look like now?
Is it something you do, or something you are?
Both? Neither?
Rebellion used to mean calling out injustice.
Refusing to shrink to fit someone else’s stage.
Punk is still loud. Still messy. Still full of heart. And I’m proud to be part of it.

And to Iris Berry, Ron Emory & Jack Grisham for I Play With Giants—a beautiful, raw tribute to Mike Roche that reminded us why punk still has a pulse.
Shoutout to Lisa Johnson for making it happen, Melanie Kaye for spreading the word, and the bands who brought the fire:
The Dollheads, Knuckleheadz, Playboy Manbaby, Voodoo Glow Skulls, TSOL.
We talked about the ethics of shooting from the inside, documenting without exploiting, and why punk isn’t about posing—it’s about presence.
His work hits you where it hurts—and that’s the point.
One of the highlights? Interviewing the legendary Ed Colver.
If you’ve ever seen a punk photo that punched you in the chest, odds are he took it.
Last weekend wasn’t just an anniversary. It felt like a punk family reunion—minus the fistfights, plus some killer stories.
Sat down with Fat Mike, Kevin Lyman, Jack Grisham & Vinnie Fiorello—barely held together by George Stroumboulopoulos.
Two years in, the Punk Rock Museum is still standing—and somehow, so am I.

International Women’s Day is about reimagining and actively creating a better world. It is also about the COURAGE to navigate fear. We know what love feels like, what it looks like. When I look at the world and do not see love, I know it is about power—and power thrives on unattended fear.
Back from Vegas—insane weekend!
