HAIM live at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester on July 17th, 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
A general sale of tickets for the Haim show will start on August 29th.
HAIM will bring their Days Are Gone 10th anniversary celebrations to the UK with a gig at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on August 31st.
It’s set to be just the second time the trio will have performed their debut album in full following last month’s concert in Los Angeles, while a reissue of the record featuring bonus tracks and remixes is to follow on September 29th.
“Comparisons have often been made to the girls’ obsession with the song and the dynamic of Fleetwood Mac – an approach to the process which easily forgets that the latter leaned on a blizzard of inter personal subterfuge and cocaine for inspiration,” our Days Are Gone review reads.
No-one’s suggesting that this has played any part in the process, but by the time that same stimulant had grown up into the Eighties, it was helping to make the kind of music that sounded like a Californian night, the glossy neon shadows of ‘Don’t Save Me‘ and ‘If I Could Change Your Mind‘ every bit here as gorgeously disposable.
“If the latter is the trio being as unashamedly direct as possible, opener ‘Falling‘ repeats the dose but wraps one of those laconic, Clapton-lite guitar riffs around the ‘just wanna have fun’ vibe, guilty pleasures for those who lack the time for remorse.”
