Haim were also asked to sing on the forthcoming new Arctic Monkeys album, 'AM', but sadly had to turn down the opportunity in order to finish recording their own album. Their harmonies are so in demand, that they've been hired to sing backing-vocals for the likes of A$AP Rocky, Childish Gambino, Kid Cudi and Major Lazer, as well as appear alongside Primal Scream at Glastonbury this year to perform backing-vocals on three of their songs. Haim finish each other's sentences (Alana: "I'm taking." / Este: "Artistic license?"), they gleefully bully the youngest sister ("Alana is always wrong!"), and they burst into perfectly harmonised sing-song at whim. Whilst reigning victorious over her sisters during our interview, she says: "I love winning things! It's my favourite thing in the world." Este is also the kinda girl who knows all the choreography from the Britney Spears 'Oops!.I Did It Again' music video, and at one point during our time spent together, Este changes the lyrics of One Direction's song 'Kiss You' to something a bit more explicit, singing "let me f*** you", much to her sisters' embarrassment. We still get text messages to this day of people sending us weird pictures and weird texts."īass-face, Este - equal parts wise-cracking Buffy The Vampire Slayer and gum-snapping Veronica Mars heroine - is sassy and street-smart. Alana says: "We got so many weird text messages.

'Baby Haim' rocks rhythm guitar, keys and percussion during their live shows, with many a joyful Tigger-like bounce from one side of the stage to the other.Īlana describes the oldest Haim sister, Este Haim, as fearless and that she is "crazy and literally has no filter and if she is dared to do anything, she will do it." Infamously, Este gave out her number during their iTunes Festival show last year, which was broadcast for free on iTunes everywhere around the world. She loves nail-art, puppies, cut-off shorts, sour candy and her NME Award for Best Twitter. Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, endearing and winsome - words upon words tumble out of Alana in a constant stream-of-consciousness running dialogue. If Danielle is the Yoda of the group - as her elder sister, Este, describes her - then Alana Haim is the 'Clueless' Cher of the band.
Danielle is the kind of rare creature who is sparing with her words, so when she opens her mouth - whether it be to speak, or to sing - those listening tend to memorise every word of wisdom that is bestowed upon them. Youngest sister Alana, makes a joke later tha t "Danielle doesn't talk".
On-stage, Danielle is a lean, mean shredding-machine - who in the past has played guitar on tour for The Strokes' Julian Casablancas, Jenny Lewis and Cee-Lo Green - but off-stage with her affectionate demeanour, it's not hard to imagine her perfecting her culinary skills. She and her sisters only arrived at the venue mere minutes ago after commuting across the city from their Australian record label offices where they'd officially turned in the final master of their debut album, but she's already graciously playing the role of hostess with much aplomb. "Do you want a drink? Water? Pepsi?" offers Danielle Haim. I know this, because the sound of One Direction's latest single 'Best Song Ever' being sung in a pitch perfect three-part harmony, is currently travelling towards me through the venue that the band are playing tonight in Sydney, as a Splendour In The Grass 2013 side-show.įinally, a flurry of leather jackets, Chelsea boots and Disney Princess hair, bursts through the backstage door and into the green room - with their parents, Papa Mordechai 'Moti' Haim and Mama Donna Haim, in tow.
