  • The Punk Rock Museum Gains The Ghost – RECAP

    The Punk Rock Museum Gains The Ghost – RECAP

    I had the honor of returning to The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas a few weeks ago—the same place where walls talk, guitars still hum feedback, and the floors are sticky with adhesive and history. This time, I wasn’t just walking the halls—I was once again guiding people through them, telling stories, laughing, and even getting a little emotional.

    The big moment was Donating The Ghost. That bass guitar has been through the trenches—sweaty clubs, cross-continental tours, and shady green rooms galore. Letting it go wasn’t easy, but seeing it in the museum, surrounded by a shared legacy, felt right. It’s not mine anymore—it’s ours.

    Also, a HUGE shoutout to the Punk Scholars Network for inviting me to speak on a panel during my time in Vegas. It was an honor to sit alongside longtime friend and Museum maestro Fat Mike and Jessica Schwartz from UCLA’s Punkast and dig into the deeper layers of punk—its history, politics, and the personal stories that don’t always make the stage. The conversation reminded me how vital these academic and cultural spaces are in keeping punk’s spirit alive and evolving.

    What blew me away, though, was you—the fans. The posts, the tags, the DMs, the interviews, the random shoutouts on social media—it’s been surreal. Seeing your photos from the tours, the selfies with the exhibits, and your reactions to the stories I shared (and those I didn’t) made everything more meaningful. You reminded me that punk is still alive—not just in the music, but in the people who keep showing up, decade after decade, with the same fire burning in their guts.

    Some of you said walking through the museum felt like walking through your teenage bedroom. Others told me it helped you connect with your kids, your past, or a part of yourself that needed to scream again. That’s the heart of this whole thing.

    So thank you. For showing up. For caring. For still giving a damn!

    And if you haven’t made it to The Punk Rock Museum yet, what are you waiting for? Come find me—I’ll be the one standing by the bass with a story or two left to tell.

  • 2024 Year in Revue!

    2024 Year in Revue!

    From sweaty rehearsal rooms to wild nights on the road, from DIY spaces to (not so DIY stages)—2024 was a year I won’t forget. I threw myself into new projects, crossed paths with some incredible humans, played packed festivals and clubs, and pushed myself creatively in ways I didn’t see coming. Now that the dust has settled (kind of), I’m looking back at the highlights, the surprises, and the moments that made it all worth it. Whether you’ve been along for the ride or just tuning in, here’s a peek behind the scenes at what made this year so damn special. – Jennifer Finch

  • 2025 – Gallery Opening Celebrating Photographer Ed Colver featuring Live in-conversation with Jennifer Finch

    2025 – Gallery Opening Celebrating Photographer Ed Colver featuring Live in-conversation with Jennifer Finch

    Renowned photographer Edward Colver is set to showcase his work at the Punk Museum:

    March 30, 2025 at 2 – 4 PM
    Opening Celebration and Conversation between Edward Colver and Jennifer Finch

    Colver’s lens captured the raw essence of the Los Angeles punk scene from 1978 to 1984, immortalizing its energy and ethos.​albumcoverhalloffame.wordpress.com

    Born on June 17, 1949, in Pomona, California, Colver was largely self-taught, with brief formal training at UCLA under Eileen Cowin. Influenced by Dada and Surrealism, as well as avant-garde composers like John Cage, his artistic vision was both unique and profound. Within months of picking up a camera, his work began appearing in publications, leading to collaborations with major record labels and over 500 album covers. ​albumcoverhalloffame.wordpress.com+2en.wikipedia.org+2Edward Colver+2Edward Colver+2Edward Colver+2en.wikipedia.org+2

    Colver’s photographs are synonymous with the hardcore punk movement, offering an unfiltered glimpse into its fervor. His iconic images, such as the cover of Black Flag’s “Damaged” and Circle Jerks’ “Group Sex,” encapsulate the spirit of the era. His commitment to authenticity made him a fixture at punk venues, attending shows five nights a week to document this cultural phenomenon. ​monsterchildren.comNorthwestern Art Review+1monsterchildren.com+1

    In anticipation of the exhibition, here are some questions curated for Colver:​

    We invite readers to submit their own questions for Edward Colver in the comments below. Selected inquiries will be featured in our upcoming interview, providing a deeper insight into the legacy of this pivotal artist.​

    Join us at the Punk Museum on March 30 to experience Colver’s compelling visual narrative of the Los Angeles punk scene.
