The goddess' themselves: HAIM

After attending Auckland’s St Jerome’s Laneway Festival on Monday, I figured my first post would be dedicated to my favourite band of the day, Haim.

Before the three angelic sisters performed I was already high on life (and around three glasses of cheap wine) because my one and only [dream] $oul $ister LORDE had won TWO GRAMMYS!!

Haim (rhymes with time for all you people in debate with your friends on how to actually pronounce their name) hit the stage with Danielle and Este rocking leather jackets and Baby Haim rocking a red and white letterman jacket #AlreadyMakingAGoodImpression. 

The crowd was crazy; everyone was pumped to see these three feisty ladies play for the first time in New Zealand just as they are peaking in their music career. Not a single body was standing still, as Este slapped da bass and flipped her lush locks, the crowd was feelin it as much as she was. To make the sisters even more loveable they said that everyone from NZ were babes (blush) and Este tweeted yesterday morning her love for Auckland and also her love for the delish Tim Tams- we all could down a pack of those at once, join the club Este.

However the moment that all the indie kids went wild was the moment they played “The Wire” everyone went CRAZY. Majority of people knowing all the lyrics, (being played pretty much every hour on NZ radio it was expected), hands were in the air and girls were on the shoulders of their loved ones who were sacrificing their own view and comfort <3  

Did I mention the three hot ladies play instruments? Like a real band, and they’re girls, that are sisters. All three rocked the guitar and Alana (Baby Haim) even whipped out the maraca, then they all had a go on the drum simultaneously while getting the audience involved by pointing drum sticks at the crowd and yelling the concert friendly “HEY!” and boy did the crowd respond positively, screaming “HEY!” right back.

 Could these girls get any cooler? I think not, with voices like children of sunshine and sass they were undoubtedly one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen and I cannot wait for them to come back and headline their own show.

FIVE FAV FACTS ABOUT HAIM <3

^BABES^

1.     Jay-Z is (technically) their boss, so they are obviously the princesses to the king himself.

2.   Haim and Lorde hangout and tweet each other, if Lorde loves them, it justifies their awesome music and obviously they have great taste too if they love our girl. Also, the two did a joint performance of Sheryl Crow’s ‘Strong Enough’ and it was a beautiful thing.

3.      The fact that they are sisters and they actually play instruments. Seriously I cannot let it go, watching them play live was magnificent, they rocked it and made me v jealous of the fact I can only play the flute/recorder.

4.    Their sass, and ‘tude. They dropped the F-bomb numerous times in their performance and no one can make a swear word sound as cool as these girls. Este’s twitter name is even ‘ESTE FUCKING HAIM’ and in her bio she writes ‘the only people that make me laugh are @haimtheband and @babyhaim’ << straight to the point. BEAUTIFUL.

5.   THEY ARE PLAYING AT COACHELLA 2014. Nuff said.
