The sisters Haim will be dropping in on Hollywood on Saturday for a not-so-secret, "pop-up" acoustic set. The announcement was made across the band's social accounts:

We did some sleuthing (i.e. googling) and discovered that 5656 Hollywood Boulevard is the address to Junior High, a non-profit that's also promoted as a community space, retail store, and art gallery all rolled into one. Quick take: the lean and mutely festive aesthetic of the space pairs well with the band and its sound.
If you're not already camping out there for the show, you'll likely have a hard time making it to the acoustic set. But, as the band states, they'll be signing posters until 4p.m.
If you plan on going out, take note that you'll have to pre-order their upcoming album for admission to Saturday's party:
If you have proof on your phone that you have preordered you are 👍 https://t.co/lu35wi6Z6a

The band is currently on the media circuit, doing promos in support of Something To Tell You, which will drop on July 7. It will be their second studio release.

In April the band released a video for "Right Now," one of the tracks off the album. It's directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, and combines bass face with the gentle blue hues of Punch Drunk Love.
Junior High is located at 5656 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood.
