Phoenix's The Love Me Nots were set for stardom a couple years ago and . . . they're still waiting.
One of the few Arizona bands to get national ink from magazines like Spin, The Love Me Nots have since swapped out half of their lineup.
In addition to the new bassist and drummer, the band has a new album, "Detroit," again helmed by Jim Diamond. The CD keeps the fuzzy, organ-driven garage rock that made its 2007 self-titled debut so much fun.
The 13-song "Detroit" also sounds more confident and quick-paced than last year's effort, relying less on ballads and more on straight-ahead rockers.
The band will celebrate the CD's release with a Friday night show at Club Congress. Tickets are $5. Opening are Tucson's The Mission Creeps and Wooly Bandits, a band out of Los Angeles. Doors open at 9 p.m.
