To commemorate the life of a late friend, Sammi Kane Kraft, HAIM generated Sam Jam, a benefit concert in which all proceeds were given to the Our House Grief Support Center. Friends and family of the four-piece band joined them on stage to show support, such as Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Jenny Lewis. The Troubadour in Los Angeles hosted the charity concert for the close companion of HAIM, who was tragically killed at just 20 years old by a drunk driver in 2012. Kraft's impressive baseball talents once landed her a role in the film Bad News Bears. Lewis, known for her participation in Rilo Kiley and The Postal Service, perfomed her newest song titled "Girl on Girl." With the assisted talents of Haim, the collaboraion gained heavy participation, chanting and clapping from the crowd along to the beat.
As Pitchfork reported, they continued to share the stage for performances of Lewis's "Just One of the Guys" and "Acid Tongue."
Kesha later joined HAIM for a collaboration of "Your Love Is My Drug" and Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well." Grizzly Bear's Ed Droste merged with Haim for a rendition of the Beach Boys's "Surfer Girl."
Seeming as if nothing changed, Moti and Donna Haim reunited with their children once more on the drums and singing back-up vocals as the family band Rockinhaim, performing " Johnny B. Goode" and "Mustang Sally."
One of the three sisters in the band, Este Haim, recently came together with Don Jon actress Scarlett Johansson to create a super-pop group called The Singles along with Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan, reported NME. Their sound is comparable to The Bangles, The Go-Go's and other bubble-gum female groups.
