"When Mick Jagger proclaims he's going to check out your music, it means you've made it. Well, almost. Haim sisters Este, Danielle, and Alana always knew they'd make it\u2014it was only a matter of when, how, and which vintage denim cutoffs they'd be wearing for the occasion. \"Music was the one thing I had to do or I just wouldn't be happy,\" reveals Alana, 21, in an interview held at the band's New York City studio session for their upcoming debut album.\n\nIf these San Fernando Valley\u2013born siblings, who laugh unapologetically at the common mispronunciation of their name (it's hime), seem like veteran rockers, that's simply because they are. \"We started a band with our parents, who pretty much taught us how to play drums, guitar, and piano,\" says Este, 26, of their Partridge Family\u2013esque beginnings. The universal makeshift microphone, she recalls, was not good enough: \"My dad was like, 'Why are you using a hairbrush? Here's a real one!' \"\n\nWhile their Destiny's Child\u2013meets\u2013Fleetwood Mac pop-rock vocals are always in sync, each sister is a fashion force in her own right. Este enjoys \"dressing up and feeling girly\"; Alana keeps it casual in her signature shorts; and Danielle, 23, admits, \"The Canadian tudo is kind of my vibe.\" Growing up, Danielle jokingly remembers, \"the only thing that matched was that our parents hated cutting our hair. We looked like Little House on the Prairie.\"\n\nThey've toured with Mumford &amp;amp; Sons and opened for Florence + the Machine, but when asked whom they'd adopt into the Haim family, Alana says, \"If we had Prince, Beyonc\u00E9, and Serge Gainsbourg, we would have the tightest band.\" In true sister fashion, Este is quick to insist, \"But we would all have crushes on Serge. We wouldn't get any work done.\" They're the California-cool girls you've always wanted as friends and the sisters you wish you had.\n\nVideo Extra: Watch a bonus interview with Haim."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
