My sister and I met Mama Haim at a show last summer. She's been having a vicarious blast managing/accompanying the tour(s). Look for her standing against a sidewall.

Fantastic show last night.

Want to see them live now. Looks like NYC is already way sold out and scalpers are charging 3x-4x.

they just added another Seattle show so hopefully I'll catch them this time

I've heard both Haim and Grimes in very normy chain stores lately.

haha i was in an old navy a few months ago and the girl working the register bolted (with a line!) to turn up the old navy radio REAL LOUD when grimes came on

Sooooooooooo good last night! Echoing what was mentioned upthread, "My Song 5" sounds incredible live. Pretty much all of their songs do, though, really.

Did you see them at the Tower? I was there too; it was excellent.

Yeah!

Where were you?
― funny and lolexander (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 15 May 2014 18:09 (ten years ago) link
In general admission like halfway back, on Este's side.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 15 May 2014 18:28 (ten years ago) link
I wish I got GA! I was on the balc but it was still good.

I have never in my life heard so much screaming at a show.
I really dig not only this band but the level of enthusiasm they have generated, like they fill some kind of need/niche previously not known to exist
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 May 2014 19:46 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, the screaming was crazy! Also, they are very very good at working the crowd (which only added to it; people were going nuts before they even said a word). Pretty easily the most enthusiastic crowd I've ever been in.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 15 May 2014 19:51 (ten years ago) link
What I found amusing was them working the crowd in the most generic way possible ("What's up PHILADELPHIAAAAA!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!! YOU GUYS READY TO ROCK?!?") and it was SO EFFECTIVE and every show I'm at where the acts try to do that it is met with the most lukewarm reactions.
― funny and lolexander (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 15 May 2014 19:59 (ten years ago) link
yeah I've seen her do that in videos of the concerts. IDG if its schtick or just she's a boring banterer, but it seems to work in any case.
― Doritos Loco Parentis (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 May 2014 20:01 (ten years ago) link
Trending on Twitter over here at the moment after their Glastonbury performance although sadly it mainly seems to be people WTFing over Este's bass face.

Seen a fair bit of hate for them after Glastonbury. The whole bass face thing seems to have upset a lot of people. Not really sure why?
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 30 June 2014 14:38 (ten years ago) link
Because people are idiots?

Normally I'd agree with that but the person I saw start a post attacking them is definitely not an idiot. As people have said on here before it's surprising a band like this have provoked so much hated from people. I just don't get it.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 30 June 2014 14:55 (ten years ago) link
If someone wants to hate Haim it's up to them but complaining about the involuntary movements of one member's face is nagl
― What is wrong with songs? Absolutely nothing. Songs are great. (DL), Monday, 30 June 2014 15:46 (ten years ago) link
I'd like to see how a complaint about a female musician's face is articulated by a "non-idiot"
― relentlessly pecking at peace (President Keyes), Monday, 30 June 2014 16:41 (ten years ago) link
The bassist from Metallica was gurning like a good 'un but no-one seemed to mind that. Seems really sad if it's some sort of reaction to a female doing it.

Which is the more prevalent Britsh activity - going to Glastonbury? Or bitching about Glastonbury?

I love Haim forever and ever, but Este's bassface really is above and beyond that of most men or women who play bass. I don't think making note of it is sexist. I think saying it's so hard for girls to play bass that they have to make that kind of face is.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 30 June 2014 19:58 (ten years ago) link
Este's bassface is awesome and anyone who thinks otherwise can s my dddddddddddd.

the bassface is the best part of HAIM!
nb I've only listened to their music like once so maybe that's good too, idk
― guwop (crüt), Monday, 30 June 2014 21:16 (ten years ago) link
As a non-fan who doesn't hate them, I just see the bass face as part of their whole overselling of something that is in no way awesome. They remind me of NIN or Tori Amos in that way -- there's no point in getting angry at them, but there is no there there, although the artist is very good at convincing the fans that there is.

"there's no there there" what does this even mean besides "you are stupid"
― brimstead, Monday, 30 June 2014 22:03 (ten years ago) link
There's a simple solution.
Don't watch clips.

HAIM tricked us into liking their music by making videos filled with weaponized bassface

Haim one of the last bands I would accuse of overselling
― anonanon, Monday, 30 June 2014 22:34 (ten years ago) link
If I had wanted to say "they suck, you're dumb" I would have said it. I just don't hear anything about them that excites me in any way and I do see people losing their shit over them, and I see their stage presence very much being one that signifies "what we are doing is worth losing your shit over -- watch us losing ours right now!" Some people, many of whom are assholes, get very angry when they see stuff like that. I heard them before I saw them and didn't get the hate or the love until I had seen video.
― Three Word Username, Monday, 30 June 2014 22:40 (ten years ago) link
"Haim one of the last bands I would accuse of overselling"
Then I dunno what to say to you, because they appear to throw everything they have at this stuff in the live clips I have seen.
