HAIM

In December 2012, HAIM was in the midst of a thrilling ascent in their music career. Just a few months prior, they released their debut EP, 'Forever,' which showcased their blend of pop-rock, folk, and R&B influences, capturing the hearts of many. This live performance of 'Mustang Sally' at the iconic Troubadour in West Hollywood highlighted their electrifying stage presence and musical chemistry—qualities that would soon define them as a force in the music industry. What's fascinating is how this cover reveals their deep appreciation for classic rock while they simultaneously carved out a unique sound, blending contemporary vibes with nostalgic elements. By this point, they were already garnering attention from major outlets, foreshadowing their rapid rise to fame that would culminate in their first full-length album, 'Days Are Gone,' just a year later.
