The Hausplants are an indie art-punk band from the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, səlilwətaʔɬ (Vancouver) Canada. Hailing from Iran, Mongolia, and Minnesota, USA, their sound is a synthesis of their diverse backgrounds in music and life. Members Amir (guitar/production; he/him), Sondor (drums; she/her), and Zel (bass/vocals; she/they) met serendipitously on the Vancouver Craigslist in 2022. Brought together to create music that is liberated, energetic, and experimental, they have rooted themselves in the local Vancouver scene for the past two years, developing their sound. The Hausplants have opened for King Raam and Yukon Blonde, and produced a plant-themed fundraiser show for the Ancient Forest Alliance with GRDN Collective. Their self-produced and self-released EP ‘Bright, Indirect Light’ was released in December 2023. They are currently recording a second EP in Amir’s pantry, scheduled for release in January 2025.
