Episode 232: Hot Moms Club

Look At My Records!

Episode 232 features an interview with Eliza Vera, who performs under the moniker Hot Moms Club. The San Diego-based project just released their second EP, Welcome To The Club, which features three songs that soothingly reflect on finding joy in simple pleasures, like the calming effects of wading through Trader Joe’s and the memory-triggering scent of fried pork. But before Eliza and Tom dove into the here and now, they spoke at length about her background in music, including how winning a guitar at a raffle sparked her interest in pursuing the instrument, her first time performing in front of an audience at summer camp, and her free-wheeling college years at the University of San Diego. Plus, Eliza shared how her friendship and collaboration with acclaimed songwriter Bartees Strange blossomed, the development of her creative relationship with producer Mallory Hauser, and what’s in store for Hot Moms Club in 2024. Eliza also picked some great records from Tom’s collection, including some choice cuts from Lomelda, Barrie, Katy Kirby, and more. Check out the official playlist for Episode 232 to peep her selections.

Welcome To The Club is out now! You can purchase a copy of the EP on Bandcamp (along with other cool merch) or stream it on your platform of choice. Keep up with Hot Moms Club on Instagram.
