Hot Moms Club was born on one of Eliza Vera's morning walks in San Diego during lockdown in 2020 after she and a friend bought ankle and wrist weights. Joking they'd be the hottest moms on the block some day, it all clicked for Vera, who was just starting to write solo music around the same time.
Hot Moms Club released her self-titled debut EP in summer 2022, with the single "DD" getting traction on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds: Indie” playlist and also shared by tastemakers like Audiotree, The Alternative, BIRP.fm, David Dean Burkhart, and more. Indie Shuffle described the EP Hot Moms Club as “indie nap rock that you won’t want to wake up from.”
Vera shared her second EP, Welcome to the Club, in early 2024 with help from Nashville distributor and tastemakers Tone Tree, receiving praise from LA Weekly, FLOOD Magazine, Northern Transmissions, Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, and more. The second release served as a bridge between her stripped down but dreamy debut and her much upcoming layered and produced EP, Happy You’re Here.
For Happy You’re Here she enlisted LA-based producers Adam Carpenter (Baseball Game) and Nathan Cimino to work out of Gus Seyfferts’ studio (Beck, Roger Waters, Norah Jones), to capture a fully sound that embraces the pop side of indie.
Vera has also collaborated with Bartees Strange, as he welcomed her vocal and songwriting contributions to his latest album, Farm to Table. While the idea of Hot Moms Club started with an inside joke, songwriter Eliza Vera earnestly wants all who listen or catch her live to feel like they are at a party surrounded by friends and family.
