Hey we are playing with some bands at thrillhouse tonight in San Francisco. We play first and then it's all down hill from there. Should be cool, Stymie from Texas, Nude Beach from Long Island, and Huff Stuff Magazine is also a band. Starts at 7:00, for real this time. Alright that is all.

Homeowners plays in San Diego with the Banana's

On Saturday the 3 of September of the year of our bored 2011...

God damn Homeowners are taking our bay area bullshit and afflicting Southern California with good vibes, crystals and harmonies. Be prepared for a mellow earthquake of super stroke flower power violence. Don't say we didn't warn you San Diego. Click on the title of the post to find out the happenings (ten years gone), dig?

Namaste.

Home Owners- Sluggos Do Ya hear we punk fest 6-4-2011

We just had the best fucking time visiting the sweetest people on earth in Chattanooga, TN and it was a wild, incredible 3 days. So many bands ruled it this weekend and we can't wait to get back to the east all ready. Here's a link to a video of Ant Trails at Sluggo's. Thanks to all the organizers of Do Ya Hear We and everybody that made it so fun.

New Recording

Hey, here are five songs from the new recording. It'll be on a tape and then on vinyl, hopefully.
Off to chattanooga. It's above you, look up.

See ya in the pit

Recording and Do You Hear We?

Hey all eight of you who check this blog (hi Grandma!) we gonna record an ass ten of songs in early May and get them on cassette to bring on down to Do you hear we? in chattanooga which we are playing. Hopefully we will then get those songs on an LP after the fact and take them around the country. Assuming nuclear fall out or massive tectonic square-dance doesn't shake homeowners off the face of california like a horse tail-whippin a fly off it's ass.

we're playing some bay area shows in May, I think. Shit or get off the pot 2011, y'all.

Hot New Mexicans in Oakland

On Sunday the 27 of February the Hot New Mexicans from Athens, GA will be playing the church at 24 and linden st in oakland, CA. They're playing with:

Street Eaters (back from tour and tight as hell) http://streeteaters.com/

Huff Stuff Magazine (members of the oily bois)

Jus' Folks (new abi yoyo's band)

Y'all better come or you will really miss out. Also check the HNM's new record out on Recess, it's so fucking rad.

February 9th with Street Eaters and Forgetters

Homeowners next show is February, 9th at the Oakland Metro Opera at 630 3rd st. with Street Eaters and Forgetters (brooklyn).

It's $10 so if you wanna get in maybe you can bring in a cymbal or something and then disappear. This is our first stab at playing a legitimate venue, should be weird and fun.

Homeowners, Hot New Mexicans, Brilliant Colors

Monday, February 28 at El Rio we will be playing a show with some great friends who are in a great band, Hot New Mexicans from Athens, Georgia

Check them out at hotnewmexicans.blogspot.com.

The will cost $6 with all of the money going to the touring band, it's 21 and up, unfortunately, but that's SF.

They are also playing the day before in Oakland which I will finalize real soon. It's gonna rule, I can't even tell y'all how much I think this band is great.

Submission is a fucking bummer

Last night we played a show at submission gallery in the mission with Opt Out, Death First and two other bands whose names I forgot. This marks the first and last time Homeowners will ever play there. I don't think their all ages status merits them any right to host "diy" punk shows. This place is a safe space for macho security dudes, sexist artwork, shitty sound and no in's and outs. For all the shit I hear people talk about Gilman (myself included) it ain't nothing compared to that fucking place. I'd rather play slims or bottom of the hill.

When you approach the bathroom at Submission look to the left behind the stage and you'll see a mural of a woman in little to no clothes (it was partially covered last night by a white board, but it is still there). She's drawn in a traditionally sexy image, ala large breasts, big ass and pouted lips, like something out of the heavy metal animation or something. She has her hands and legs tied together and the words "submission" above it. What's does this say? To me it's sexual violence and I want no part in playing a space that commissions that kind of bullshit art.

Also, if they're going search bags, not allow in's and out's and pull that shit where they shine a flashlight in your face for standing on a chair, then why aren't they as uptight about making sure a microphone is working or not? It's because they don't give a shit about punk shows or our community at all. They just use us as way to make rent and wield some sort of fucked up power over people. There's no other reason people go to that fucking place besides to see a show, but they're going to put no effort into the sound and be dicks to everyone there.

They treat everyone there as a nuisance or even worse, a potential enemy, and that's exact reason why I got into punk, to avoid that world. Save the macho dudes, and intense security and awful sound for someone else because our community doesn't belong there.

I know that are shitty band that has no draw isn't going to affect the existence of Submission but I strongly encourage everyone else to stop going/playing there as well. We deserve better, and if there isn't any better then let's at least play a shitty club that gives you drinks or food or money or anything to make it easier to be there for four hours.

fuck...

December 30, New Year's Eve Eve show

I blame superchunk... Razorcake review

  Here's what they said.

REVIEWS

HOMEOWNERS: Light and Vision: 7"

Razorcake:

I blame Superchunk’s “Slack Motherfucker.” Was it punk? Was it college rock (which became indie)? It was rockin’ and angsty and I loved it. Girls who liked REM liked them because of the pretty parts and it didn’t look like the guys in the bands were the stabbing kind of hobos who wanted to hurt you. Dudes who had Crass patches liked the “motherfucker” and “I’m not working for you” side of things. And since this was at a really important developmental stage in my music brain, I have the largest soft spot for bands that hit that energy/catchiness, where it can be fists in the air, uncontrolled bouncing, and smart/angry all at the same time. Not to be a dick, but this is what I thought Beat Happening would sound like before I heard them. Don’t let genres lock you into solitary confinement. This shit’s downright enjoyable and fresh. Supposedly, it was also recorded in Neil Young’s model train studio, but the internet is usually a big, fat, fuckin’ liar. –ToddTaylor
