HAIM in Austin: A Photo Diary

The three coolest sisters in rock performing at Stubb's.

HAIM in Austin: A Photo Diary
Jennifer Irving

This past Wednesday, I was lucky enough to see HAIM for a second time (I saw them the first weekend of ACL), and let me tell you, I never thought a show could be that energetic. I also never thought I could sweat that much, but I guess there's a first time for everything. Anyway, after waiting in line for a few hours in the heat (don't worry Mom I was doing homework too) my friends and I were lucky enough to be third row for their show at Stubb's. The blessing of being so close is that I managed to capture some super cool pictures of my favorite band of sisters, but the curse was that I was too close to fit them all in one photo. So, in order to prove how cool and genuinely awesome Danielle, Alana, and Este are, I have compiled my pictures together to form a photo diary.

The HAIM sisters are famous for their hair, so there is definitely no lack of hair flips at one of their shows. Here I caught Danielle with the first hair flip of the night during a guitar solo.

During a cover of Prince's "I Would Die 4 U," Este makes her way into the crowd, but only after a few synchronized dance moves with her sisters.

Here is Danielle during the chorus of their song "Forever" glowing in front of an array of red lights.

In this picture you can see Este's boots with embroidered pictures of planets on them. She told a story about a girl coming up to her earlier that day and telling her "I can see Uranus," to which she replied "Um, can we be best friends?"

Here is Alana wearing her "Texas is for lovers" shirt. All three of them kept referring to the audience as their family rather than their fans throughout the show and said it was one of the best nights of their lives. Alana told us she knew her shirt was 100 percent true.

Before there was HAIM, there was "Rockin' Haim," a band they created with their parents. As a special treat for the audience, for one night only, Rockin' Haim reunited and sang their rendition of "Ride Sally Ride" by Lou Reed. It was a very special moment to witness and the love pouring from both the Haim family and the audience was incredible.

At the end of their set, HAIM's crew rolled out an incredibly long drumset, with just enough drums for each of them. They then began playing what is probably the coolest drum battle ever; at one point getting the audience to "get low" until we're all physically touching the ground. We then all slowly rose back up until we were all jumping for at least two minutes straight. They ended their set on a super high note, and the audience went wild.

HAIM is probably the most feel-good, energetic, and coolest band out there. They are all an inspiration to me as people, and I know this new wave of girl-fronted bands will help inspire other girls to do what they love. If you haven't had the chance to see them live before, then I highly recommend you get on that. If not, I guess you'll just have to keep listening to "Days are Gone" until their next album comes out, which shouldn't be too much longer, according to them. Fingers crossed.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
