There is nothing better than coming off stage and being all sweaty andnotpartying, says multi-instrumentalist Alana, 25.
Its us in our Snuggies watching random John Cusack movies and eating postshow pizza.

I wouldnt trade that for anything.
Alana starts waving her arms emphatically: Postshow pizza!
And being their sincere, enthusiastic selves is exactly what put Haim on track for global domination.
Since forming a decade ago, theres hardly a corner of popular music Haim hasnt touched.
Rappers like A$AP Ferg and Kid Cudi remixed their songs and recruited them to sing hooks.
They collaborated with Calvin Harris and toured with Taylor Swift.
In 2017, Haim might just be the one band everyone can agree on.
They dont need to hide behind any facade.
There are a lot of people who are posturing, and they just refuse to do that.
That approach is unlikely to change with their second album,Something to Tell You, out July 7.
We literally do what we do.
There is no other way we can write songs.
There is no other way we can produce songs.
We wont finish a song until it sounds exactly like how it sounds in our brains.
We dont overthink those things, Este says.
As long as were having fun and doing what we want?
This cultural omnivorousness is all theyve ever known.
You hate drum machines?
Thats the stupidest thing Ive ever heard in my life.
You lost it!'
The track wasnt ultimately included in the film, but having the assignment helped unlock their creativity.
Everything Alana makes a barfing noise came out [after that].
The record wrote itself at that point.
Yet the albums lyrics touch on how their lives have changed in subtle ways.
As its title suggests,Something to Tell Youdeals with the struggles of communication.
text generally known as universal code for a booty call.
(Spoiler alert: They nailed it.)
Apart from some tour plans, I dont even know what happens afterSNL, says Alana.
My brain stops this week.
Well, maybe they knowonething that happens after the show.
