MUSIC REVIEW: The Love Me Nots

October 14, 2009 at 9:44am

Playing straight-up, straight-ahead, straightened-out garage rock, Phoenix quartet The Love Me Nots knocked out a super-catchy set to a modest but super enthusiastic crowd Thursday night at the Bug Jar. The two-guy, two-gal line-up was tight with its relentless 4/4 beat, choppy guitar, all just dripping with greasy Farfisa goodness. Singer/organist Nicole Laurenne pinballed between wailin' on the mic to wailin' on the keys. She was just a little slip of a thing, in those black go-go boots (sigh), but the gal packed quite a wallop. When you play such a regimented classic type of rock 'n' roll like this, there's really no way to do anything new. You just gotta be good. The Love Me Nots are good, baby - real good.
