I’m excited to let you know that Rock n’ Roll Repeat is opening the pre-order for a minimal run t-shirt featuring one of Pat Graham’s Rock For Choice photographs. Pat has such an incredible eye—he’s documented so much of punk and indie rock history—and this particular shot from a Washington D.C. show has always carried a lot of energy for me.
That night in D.C. remains vivid in my memory. The crowd was sweaty, loud, and completely unhinged in the best way—D.C. audiences always had this raw intensity, and it pushed us to play even harder. I remember feeling like the floor might actually give way under everyone jumping around, but that just made the whole set more electric. Having that moment captured by Pat and now brought back through this collaboration feels like a time capsule cracked open.
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!
No velvet ropes. Not behind glass. No “do not touch” signs. Just pure history in your hands.

Forty years. That’s wild even to say out loud, let alone type. But here we are—L7 celebrating four decades of making noise together. And what better way to mark the occasion than throwing a party in our hometown of Los Angeles? On Saturday, October 3rd, we’ll be hitting The Belasco stage in DTLA alongside two bands that feel like old friends and family: New York City’s Lunachicks and Brazil’s CSS.
It’s been a whole year since our last L.A. show—Fast and Frightening Festival last October—and we’ve been itching to get back on stage here. L.A. is where it all started for us: the DIY shows, the late nights, the sweat and grit. And playing with Lunachicks again? We haven’t shared a stage with them since the early ’90s. That’s a reunion long overdue. CSS brings a whole other energy to the night—global punk spirit with their brand of Brazilian pop-electro-rock flavor.
This isn’t just another gig—it’s a celebration of L7’s history, the bands we’ve crossed paths with, and the city that raised us.
40 years strong: Celebrating four decades since L7 first formed in Los Angeles.
Hometown roots: First L.A. show since October’s Fast and Frightening Festival, back in DTLA where it all began.
Lunachicks reunion: First time sharing a bill with Lunachicks since the early 1990s—a serious full-circle moment.
Global connection: Welcoming CSS from Brazil, representing L7’s influence across borders and generations.
Community and history: Honoring L7’s place in L.A.’s punk and rock scene alongside old friends and new fans.
HUGE thanks to Pitchfork and Flood for the coverage of this event!
Expect old-school vibes, loud amps, and zero patience for sitting still. We’re showing up ready to deliver the kind of show that reminds everyone why we’ve lasted this long: guts, humor, volume, and community. We hope to see familiar faces and new ones too, all ready to throw down with us.
