About Haim (band) in brief
Haim is an American pop rock band from Los Angeles. The band consists of three sisters: Este Haim, Danielle Haim, and Alana Haim. The sisters grew up in a musical family, and began playing instruments from an early age in the cover band Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Moti and Donna. The two elder sisters, Este and Danielle, began performing with the pop group Valli Girls in 2005. They formed Haim with younger sister Alana in 2007, but did not seriously consider it a professional career for some years. After Danielle became a successful touring guitarist, Haim reformed as a full-time operation in 2012. The group’s first release, Forever, combined with positive reception at the South by Southwest festival, led to a deal with Polydor Records and a management deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation group in mid-2012. Their second album, Something to Tell You, was released in July 2017. Their third album, titled Women in Music Pt. III, will be released on June 26, 2020. The group received nominations at the 63rd Grammy awards for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance. The group was nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Their song “Valli Nation” appeared on the 2005 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards soundtrack alongside established musicians Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, Simple Plan and Good Charlotte. In 2000 the sisters performed their first rock concert at Los Angeles’ Canter’s Deli.
As they grew older, the sisters became more interested in incorporating pop and contemporary R&B into their music, and in 2007 they decided to form their own band. For the next five years Haim played not show, because all three sisters were busy with other projects. Este was studying at UCLA and graduated in 2010 with a degree in Ethnomusicology, specializing in Bulgarian and Brazilian and Brazilian music. Danielle was spotted by musician Jenny Lewis at a jam session in Laurel Canyon, which led to Danielle joining The Strokes’ touring band. The siblings were encouraged to listen to their parents’ 1970s classic rock and Americana records and, during their childhood, the family formed a band called Rock inhaim to play cover versions at local charity fairs, with Moti on drums and Donna on guitar. Their Israeli-born father Mordechai \”Moti\” Haim and their mother Donna were both musical; though he had been a professional soccer player in Israel, Mota also played drums, while Donna won a contest on The Gong Show in the 1970s singing a Bonnie Raitt song. Their first gig, the trio played at a Jewish deli in Hollywood and were paid in matzah ball soup. Early gigs were sparsely populated, with no one would show up at 50-capacity venues and no-one would pay them to play. For their first show, the group played in a Los Angeles deli.
