About The Love Me Nots: Like a 60s spy-movie theme blasting through an aluminum-siding-covered one-car garage, The Love Me Nots do fuzzy, reverb-y, surf-y, farfisa-drenched spy rock like it's 1963 again. The band recorded its debut album with Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Romantics) in Detroit and released it in 2007 on the band's own label. The album, "In Black & White," went to the CMJ Top 100 within one week and spent ten weeks on the charts, with nationwide airplay on college and specialty commercial radio, international garage-rock radio shows, podcasts and online stations. The single 'Move In Tight' was included on SPIN's list of "Songs You Need to Download Now" and the band was selected by the twelve editors of Billboard to perform at their 2007 Independent Music World Series showcase. XM Radio named the debut album one of XMU's Top 25 albums of 2007 and Stinkweeds Records in Phoenix named it one of their Top 10 best-selling albums of the year. The video for 'Move In Tight,' directed by SCREAM-award-winner and Chaos Comics founder Brian Pulido, was released in April 2007 and has been showcased at the Phoenix Film Festival, Comic Con, and several European video events. The band spent much of 2007 touring both coasts and the midwest, with live appearances on WFMU (NJ), KUPD (AZ), KEDJ (AZ), KZON (AZ), KUSF (CA), KEXP (WA), and WLUW (IL). The Love Me Nots' second album, also recorded with Mr. Diamond, is scheduled for release in September 2008.
"'Move In Tight': With their leggy, go-go-booted singer smacking her Farfisa and purring/shouting demands, this Phoenix outfit turns a geeky garage schtick into white heat."
- SPIN Magazine, "Songs You Need To Download Now," 3/07
"Delightfully trashy throwback to the '60s. Brings back Detroit retro-garage rock in a big way. Irresistable."
- Billy Zero, XM Radio Radar Report, Featured Artist Review, 4/07
"The Love Me Nots are intent on shaking a tail feather, and we're betting you won't be able to stop yourself from doing the same when you hear them."
- J. Perry, The Boston Globe, "6 Pop acts to watch in 2007," 1/07
"A huge, brassy sound unlike much else in the rock world today."
- Revolt Magazine, Evelyn Miska, 10/07
"A meaty slab of badass '60s garage 'n' roll power - the perfect admixture of sass, sex, and soul."
- Duncan Scott Davidson, The San Francisco Bay Guardian, "Weekly Picks," 2/14/07,
"A true inferno of garage classics. For me, the record of the year!"
- Capone, Big Shot Magazine (Germany), 6/07
"'Move in Tight' is a new garage classic in its own right."
- Ed Masley, The Phoenix New Times, 5/07
"Laurenne's range can go from a croon to a wail, backed by the penetrating force that is Michael Johnny Walker's buzzsaw guitar work."
- Reid Sheldon, OC Weekly, "Heard Mentality," 11/07
"Throbbing bass lines, big beat drumming, fuzzed out guitar and kitten-with-a-whip vocals with enough attitude to give the hellcats in a Russ Meyer movie a run for their money. If this doesn't get you up and dancing, nothing will."
- Thomas Pizzola, The Hartford Courant, 3/29/07
"The Love Me Nots' LP almost melted from all the hot spins I gave it! Groovalicious! This is what the last day of school and the first day of summer vacation feels like."
- Phil Rainone, "Whole Lotta Luv," Jersey Beat, 5/07
"Laurenne creates a sheen of spooky, circusy keyboards but never loses her cool, even as Michael Johnny Walker surrounds her with searing, leering fuzz-garage riffs.'"
- Falling James, L.A. Weekly, "Pick Of The Night," 4/07
"I've got a band cued up right now, brand spanking new from Phoenix, and I will guarantee you: this is not the last time you're gonna hear The Love Me Nots."
- Bill Kelly, (Sirius Radio Underground Garage Show DJ),
live on WFMU-New Jersey, Teenage Wasteland Show, 10/06
"The Love Me Nots kick up a din that'd do old Question Mark proud, with a chanteuse who can torch the house down."
- Meghana Keshavan, Detroit Metro Times, 6/07
"The Love Me Nots are like '64 Pontiac GTO in cherry condition, a lesson in Rock n' Roll seduction, cornering listeners with every thrash of the mic and organ."
- Kevin Wierzbicki, Desert Living Magazine, 5/07
"Now the Southwest has its band. With a singer who terrorizes a Farfisa and a guitarist who recalls Dick Dale and Horton Heat in a single chord, the Love Me Nots are one of the bands of 2007, hands down. And may I be so bold as to say I 'discovered' this band before Little Steven did? Thank you. Because I did."
- E.D. Pennypacker, "Move In Tight!," Sonic Parthenon (New York), 5/07
"Insane amount of energy – not cute and perky, it’s loud and wild! Sultry vocals, a bit of Animals, and VERY dangerous organ. Whew! This packs a punch!"
- Sadie O, KZSU (Stanford, CA), 7/07
"Like a 30-minute magic carpet ride through the '60s alongside Nancy Sinatra, with as much bop-and-pomp as anything Phil Spector produced."
- Niki D'Andrea, The Phoenix New Times, "Garage a Go-Go," 8/06
"Phoenix's newest rock-and-roll tastemakers would make any white-belted hipster nod their head in approval. My pick for best local rock album of the year."

- CMJ.com, "The Next Big Thing Debate," 11/06
"Phoenix will not be able to keep this dynamic four-piece a secret much longer. These cats are hot. This is one band not to be missed live when you have the chance.â€
- Kevin Wierzbicki, Rocknworld, 1/30/07
"Deliciously devious, retro go-go style, ready-made for a rock fan’s addictive compulsion and quickly becoming one of Phoenix’s best musical exports. Laurenne has a glorious, authoritative howl and “Alley,†has one of the most primal but effective guitar riffs of recent memory."
- Ryan Heinsius, "The Retro Garage Go-Go And Sideburned Musical Connection, "Flagstaff Live!," 7/07
