Haim the band biography books

Dave Grohl's mother is to release a book about what it is like to raise a child who becomes a rock star.

Virginia Hanlon Grohl has interviewed several other famous musicians' mothers as part of the project.

She spoke to Dr Dre's mother Verna Griffin, Amy Winehouse's mother Janis, and the mother of the Haim sisters, Donna Haim.

The book will include a foreword by Dave Grohl, plus childhood photos of the Foo Fighters singer.

Other mothers interviewed for the book include Marianne Stipe, whose son is former REM singer Michael Stipe, as well as Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine's mother Patsy Noah.

According to the book's blurb, Hanlon Grohl will explore whether other musicians' mothers "worried about their children's livelihood and wellbeing in an industry fraught with drugs and other dangers".

She also asked other mothers whether they "encouraged their children's passions despite the odds against success, or attempted to dissuade them from their grandiose dreams".

From Cradle To Stage: Stories From the Mothers who Rocked and Raised Rock Stars will be released in the US in April.

A UK publication date has yet to be confirmed.

Hi there. If you’re reading this review – posted nearly a month after the formal release date of Something to Tell You on Columbia –

There’s a good chance you already know some of the standard biographical information you find in any article about HAIM.

• This trio of sisters has made music together their entire lives.
• They used to be in a family band with their parents.
• One of them is known for her extra-expressive “bass face.”
• The youngest goes by the super-twee nickname of “Baby Haim.”
• They harmonize very well.
• Their collective aesthetic is one-half Laurel Canyon folk and one-half Stevie Nicks.
• They love Ms. Nicks. A lot.

And there’s nothing wrong with those things! I’ve been a fan of these women and the unbelievably pristine pop-rock they create since they dropped their debut Forever EP back in 2012. I’m just tired of reading those facts (and more!) in every single time someone mentions HAIM and their music.

Instead, I’m going to talk about what actually connects me to HAIM’s songs and sounds – especially since there’s nothing else quite like it in my daily musical diet.

I can trace my affection for peppy vocal pop-rock of this nature to all the Contemporary Christian Mu
