Twangin'! hasn't heard this band yet, so we pass along this mess o' verbiage from the band itself: "Somewhere in the rhinestone covered spaces between Lou Reed and Gram Parsons lie The Mystery Dates. Imagine the Attractions being accosted by the Bill Black Combo in a Liverpool back-alley, with two ragged voices lifted above the fray in a Cosmic American collision of blue-eyed soul and gospel piety ... and that's just the sound check!"
