HAIM-A-HOLIC

Sometimes I get these moments where I just

really wish I was a member of Haim. Or that my sister would 

let me make a band with her so we can be like Haim too.

We both have long hair and she can sing like

Whitney and Beyonce and Gloria Gaynor when she wants to

and I can play the guitar so y'know, it's plausible.

Of course Derby, UK isn't as glamorous or jealousy inducing

as California, USA but it doesn't matter where you come

from, or at least not that much.

If you aren't familiar with Haim by now,

please get yourself on You Tube and look up their music

because it's just awesome and they are awesome

and so cool and fashionable. 

Or, you could buy their incredible début 'Days are Gone' 

if that's what floats your boat.

Haim, as you may have guessed already, are

a trio of sisters -Alana, Este and Danielle- who hail

from California and all their family are so musically gifted

that they formed a family band and played gigs together!

 How cool! The only thing my family is gifted at is singing 

the Sound Of Music soundtrack together, word for word, 

harmony for harmony.... 

Somehow it doesn't quite compare.

In a few months time they'll be heading here to

the UK for their first headline tour and if you follow

this link you can go grab yourself a pair of tickets and

make me super duper jealous because I haven't

bought any yet.

It kicks off at Rock City, Nottingham (the gig

nearest me) on the 4th of March so click like the wind

on the link below my lovelies

'CLICK FOREST CLICK'

I love Haim because they're a kick ass

girl group who the music industry has taken seriously.

They all play instruments, they can all sing, they all dress

achingly cool, they all stand for female

empowerment and that 'don't bullsh*t me' attitude.

Heck, Este's twitter name is Jizzy McGuire for pete's sake!

So whenever I'm in need of a girl-power-boost, eg. when one guy

thought I was incapable of using powerpoint (b*tch 

please I've been using it since I was eight) I whack out 

my ipod and put on a Haim track and all is right in the world.

So yeah, to conclude, I'm a self confessed Haim-a-holic and

if we all use this term enough we might be able

to get it into the Oxford Dictionary.

BOO YAH.
