As requested by Dr. Punkenstain (sorry it took so long, dude!):
Unfortunately, I don't know much about The Dream Dates. They had a Geocities site up, but it's unfinished. There's no bio.
But evidently they came from Hamilton, because there seems to be some crossover with Teenage Head. I could be mistaken on this, though.
The Dream Dates released this four-song EP in 1979. And a winner it is; makes you wish they would have expanded on their musical output during this time.
Some members are still around: there's some jamming with the New Ugly.

Been a little too busy lately to update the Citizen. But I'm hoping to get some advance posts going this weekend, or so.

Whoa, lots of wrong information in this post.
The Dream Dates were from Hamilton, and recorded seven songs in 1979. No one from Teenage Head was involved, although the did get their name from Mickey of Forgotten Rebels.
In 2001, Toronto punk label Ugly Pop released a 45 (Moans on the Phone b/w Heart Attack Rhythm), and then a second 45 (The Mess You're In b/w Search and Destroy) in 2003. The two 45s were then released together on one 12" in Europe.
