Prince is our Local Current Artist of the Month this July, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain. When Haim visited the Current's studios in May, Este and Alana Haim talked about their passion for Prince—Este goes so far as to call it an "obsession"—and the time Alana thought the band were about to get thrown out of the Brit Awards because when Prince walked by, Este was on the verge of leaping to "touch the hem of his garment."

Here's that section of Haim's conversation with Mark Wheat. Hear the band's entire in-studio session—including the complete interview and three songs—here. This discussion started when the band said their first show as Haim was on 7/7/07, and Mark pointed out that seven is a lucky number for Prince too.
