USA world cup's jersey !

It'd be cool if there was a picture of Daft Punk with France's.

In the Coachella crowd, an Este bassface sign:

awesome

I saw some of the Coachella performance and it was really good, the big hits were early on, and they sounded really cool. I bet it was awesome to dance to! The "Off the Wall"-era MJ nods I was picking up from the album production really came through live, the lead singer had all these awesome percussive vocal inflections sprinkled rhythmically on top of the groove. That girl w the bass face poster was right in front (which is pretty rude if u ask me), but the bass player just ignored it and kept kicking ass (or she thought it was funny).

this is old, but holy fuck the bass playing

concert in two nights!

haim haimerson

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

Graims

yes!

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?

In general admission like halfway back, on Este's side.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hola add on for Chrome/Firefox?

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?

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.

If someone wants to hate Haim it's up to them but complaining about the involuntary movements of one member's face is nagl

I'd like to see how a complaint about a female musician's face is articulated by a "non-idiot"

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.

Este's bassface is awesome and anyone who thinks otherwise can s my dddddddddddd.

^^^^^^^^

"what you gonna do with all that bass?"

ah The Internet

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

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.

How enlightened you are.

Hang your egoless progressivism on any tree, geek.

"there's no there there" what does this even mean besides "you are stupid"
