hi! we missed you! we're playing fanta records' SHINDIG on november 11th at red gate arts society and we hope to see you there! the lineups are banas, the vibes are great and the shows are going to be fantastic. see you there!

it would mean the world if you watched & shared the video for “horseglue,” which is a treatise on the media’s complicity in genocide, authoritarianism and most importantly… climate change. video directed by me and john lee, edited by @jdrllc.bsky.social.

just updating bandcamp links, don't mind me 😙 houseguest-band.bandcamp.com

Vancouver has a motion by @seanorr.bsky.social on Oct 8 to lower barriers to accessibility for public participation at City Council. Fill in this form to support this motion! council.vancouver.ca/20251008/doc... 1/2

it's bandcamp friday! we are actually leaving TODAY to make something new for you, but if you'd like to support us so we can KEEP recording new music for you, this is the best way to do that! love you. see you soon. ❤️ houseguest-band.bandcamp.com

if you saw us at any of our pride shows, odds are pretty good that you saw us play tegan and sara's the con live - it is SUCH a blast to play, so we decided to take a swing at it (mostly) acapella. (i guess just stripped down? whatever) happy tuesday. love you. see you soon.

do not give in to despair

sure would be nice if people called out anti-trans propaganda about our health care in this way, instead of calling it “culture wars”

❤️

our next three shows (and last shows for the next month or two while we write): the astoria, headlining osoyoos pride, and clean air fest! we could not be more excited and you don't wanna miss out, because we're gonna be taking a short writing/recording break. okay love you!

hey, all; as promised, all funds from vancouver pride - including all merch profits - have been donated. given how dire the situations in sudan and the DRC are, we decided to provide support to Al Abbasiya Community Kitchen & Friends of the Congo as well as to the Sameer Project.

do not let the breaking news of the day make you forget they are occupying our cities

do you know how horrible it feels to have the military swallow your city and then have more of your fellow citizens care about a new taylor swift album instead

we call upon any musical artists who are touring through dc or who owe even a modicum of their success in music to the local scene we hold dear to please donate at least a portion of your dc show ticket sales, merch sales or even just spare cash to the people saving lives in our city right now

they desperately want footage of soldiers shooting americans

This is the story of the year for Vancouver. Vancouver police manipulated the public in order to get the current city council elected. Then they broke the law by delaying the release of records. There are suspicious gaps in the released data, delays caused data to be purged... This is so ugly.

@houseguestband.bsky.social killed it at New Westminster Pride this weekend!

I'm saying it again local shows had more people show up and everyone got paid way better when they were cheaper and I think we should take a risk and go back to 10 dollar shows

we'll see you THIS SATURDAY for new west pride!

come on out tomorrow and catch us at the incomparable green auto with the exit strategy, @summers.brother, and north by north (all the way from chicago!)

We're raising funds for The Sameer Project, a donations based aid initiative run by Palestinians in the diaspora currently focused on the distribution of food, water, and tents in South Gaza as the Israeli blockade continues. Visit topshelfrecords.com/gaza to double your donation and learn more.

hey everyone - given that we are playing vancouver pride this weekend, we wanted to make our stance crystal clear: THERE IS NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE. to that end, we are amplifying the message and demands from queers against israeli apartheid & queer collective for palestine.

cat's out of the bag! we're playing vancouver pride aug 3rd in nelson park among some TRULY wild acts (kimmortal again???? hyaenas????) we couldn't be more stoked. (that said, please don't forget that pride is about community, not corporations)

the big anti-trans NYT story today relies entirely on a data point refuted by my reporting in December for @rollingstone.com, citing a poll figure that the pollster told me in an interview does not reflect how the electorate felt about trans rights in 2024

happy birthday to a metronome among women, a demolition derby among percussionists, a funny as hell weirdo and a true friend. we love you, cait! 📸 by eric couette

hey y'all, an update for you: rachael and the band have parted ways. we are so appreciative of her contributions to houseguest over the past two years and we wish her luck with her other project, kites on mars. we'll see you soon.

i know a lot else is going on, but US folks PLEASE call your senators - they are actively set on trying to ban trans healthcare on Medicaid entirely which trans people like me who are on Medicaid actively depend on for life-saving healthcare

we got called up to jump on a gaza fundraiser this thursday and couldn't be more proud - if you are in the area and want your cash to go to a good cause, come on out. free palestine!
