Members of Black Flag heard her playing while she was sitting in with L.A. punk group DC3. This led to her being asked to join Black Flag in 1983 to replace founding member Chuck Dukowski. Vocalist Henry Rollins later reported that Greg Ginn, Black Flag’s leader, guitarist and primary songwriter, had grown frustrated with Dukowski’s failure to progress as a musician beyond the band’s hardcore punk roots and was drawn to Roessler’s more nimble and sophisticated playing. Roessler was majoring in applied engineering at UCLA, and Black Flag’s subsequent tours were worked around her school schedule, which was a condition for her to join the band. Her bass playing was featured on five of Black Flag’s studio albums and two officially released live albums.

She remained in the band until completing touring behind their album In My Head in the autumn of 1985, then graduated from UCLA in 1986.
