The gig was undoubtedly the hottest ticket in the town, the LA sisters taking to the Glasgow crowd with just the right amount of leather to withstand the temperatures peaking during the quick-fired set.
Opening with an energetic display of hit Falling, Haim wired into tracks from their number one debut; the proceeding Oh Well the only new offering but welcomed just as strongly from the fans. Latest single The Wire was belted out to sing-a-long effect leading into the Fleetwood Mac inspired Honey and I.
Although not celebrating her birthday until a few days post-gig, Este Haim- the one most famous for her incredible bass face- excitedly told fans how she was celebrating her birthday with them here, tonight. Welcoming bras on stage- one of which she placed on her head- the energetic set progressed into the sultry Go Slow, leading into one of the girls most abrasive tracks My Song 5.
Don’t Save Me and Forever became highlights of the set, the crowd utterly impressed by Haim’s ballsy attitude which didn’t damper throughout. They closed with the timid starter of Let Me Go- a slow-burner, the track progressed into a heavy drum-heavy beast that rattled through the venue making it a true highlight of the set.
A hit at T in the Park this summer and selling out the spacious SWG3 in Glasgow, tonight Haim bagged another five star live performance with the Scottish crowd. Proving that music flows profusely through their veins, something tells me these girls will be around for a while.
