They had a sound somewhere between the Go-go's and the Ramones with bubblegum teenage libido maxed out with a dose of the Shangri Las. Led by a "new wave Betty Boop," to quote one review, this power group offered sounds and sex appeal. Combining those undeniable elements of energy and enthusiasm.
In the late '90s Nikki reemerged as an author with "Rock'n'Roll Heaven" (Boulevard/Berkeley) a book chronicling the stories of some of rock's greatest talents who met an early demise. And as an inspiration to such current girl rockers as The Donnas, who pay tribute to Ms. Corvette in their song "Gimmie My Radio!"
