The Love ME Nots played the Bug Jar Thursday, October 8. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE

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.
