Script written by William Fletcher
Three sisters, full of talent and filled with the spirit of rock. Haim has been performing since their tween years but are now gaining tons of traction especially with their new album coming out July 7, “Something to Tell you.” Here are 5 facts you may not know about the trio! Este, the eldest of the three ladies, is the only of the three girls with a University degree, their first tour was opening for Julian Casablancas' band. Their debut was cut short when Julien suggested the band disappear for a while, giving them time to regroup and refocus. They followed the advice of The Strokes' frontman, and took themselves off the touring circuit to practice and record. This time away paid off in the end, with the girls really discovering their sound. The first show the trio played was when they were in their early teens and it took place at a jewish diner, with the girls being paid in matzo ball soup. It might have been embarrassing if the girls weren't youngsters at the time. When Este developed diabetes at the age of 14, Haim decided to shift their focus from Jewish soul food to volunteer shows for diabetes foundations to help raise money for a cure. This helped the girls prepare for a life of touring while keeping them down to earth!
