Este Haim. Poor thing. It must suck when you get tired of your own attention getting gimmick.
"Explaining what people say to her after shows, she said, ‘I get, “I love that you don’t care what you look like when you play. I love that you don’t care what your face looks like when you play. I love that about you.”’
Este continued, ‘That’s like a veiled way of saying you’re ugly or something. They wouldn’t say it to a dude, who’s feeling the music when he’s playing. Like, “You look ugly when you play.” You’d never say it to John Mayer when he’s like “bleugh” when he’s playing, you know what I mean?’"

I've been laughed at for making ridiculous faces onstage before, and then ,of course, there are multiple "bass face" threads on Talkbass.
Meh.

I catch myself watching sports on the bar monitors mid set all the time, does a distracted checking the scores face count?
I dont do much bass face myself outside of a kind of vacant expression, but dont fault those who do. Some look natural doing it, some look like they lost the fight with tourettes. Watching someone completely lost in music is kinda cool either way.
Would suck to ONLY be known for facial expressions while playing though. Este def wins this thread for that reason alone imo.

Heh! Someone had posted it in another thread around here some time back, but it was a really dark scan, which made it look even worse. I tried to lighten it, thinking, "Surely it can't be that bad," but... well, there it is.
Nothing against that dude, but the editing & layout people could (should!) have chosen a more flattering shot.
l guess Miss Haim is back to not caring now that JACK DANIEL`s is paying for her bassface to advertise thier product.
