]“THE PLAYDATES” are a contemporary pop/rock group from the East Coast of Canada. The band is a formation of members who have been playing in bands for over a decade yet still in their early/mid twenties. Formed in February 2010 the band immediately hit the studio with upcoming producer (Luc Tellier – The Mission District, The New Cities) and recorded three tracks in Montreal. To the bands surprise those three tracks would ignite a fire in the Music Industry putting all eyes on the band immediately. Before the band had even released a song they were approached by the world’s largest A&R website (Kings Of A&R) to be featured on the main page.

Following features on several other different websites (Shreds News/Music Connection/Purevolume) the band was smothered with licensing/publishing offers from many different companies such as Pigfactory, Noteborn Music, Pacific Music, MTV, and Bunin & Murray. The band would hold off on signing anything for the time being.

In April 2010 the band would release its first single “Just Like The Movies” to National radio. To the bands disbelief the single would end up charting higher than many major label artists climbing to #78 on National HOT AC radio charts. Completely Independent the band had been added to over 20 stations across the Country and had been added to high rotation.

In June 2010 the band played its very first show for their hometown. For most bands your first show is usually small and low key. For “THE PLAYDATES” their debut show had nearly 500 kids singing every word to their songs. It was truly a great night and sign of good things to come.

That summer the band loaded up the van and travelled across the country playing nearly 40 shows in total. Opening up for acts like Mariana’s Trench, Girlicious, Jay Sean, LiL John, Nazareth and countless others. The band would play any show or opportunity given to them rapidly growing their fan base.

In October the bands second single “Days And Nights” would go #1 on the East Coast Countdown letting the band know they had a place on TOP 40 Radio. There songs were also featured on Los Angele’s radio when drummer of Black Sabbath “Bill Ward” featured “THE PLAYDATES” on his show. They would spend the fall/winter writing new material for their EP.

In December 2010 the band was contacted by US magazine “MUSIC CONNECTION”. Over 500 bands reviewed in 2010 “THE PLAYDATES” made the TOP 25 list. The band also signed a non-exclusive licensing deal with MTV Network.

In February the band finished recording their “EP” in Montreal with Luc. The band would play two cd release shows back to back on March.5 and nearly sell out both shows.

In one short year the band Independently managed to tour the country, have their songs placed in TV shows, Chart Nationally on TOP 40 Radio, get featured in online/printed magazines worldwide, and shoot two low budget music video’s.

Coming off a Showcase for CMW at “The Opera House” in Toronto the band is now being managed fulltime by Music Veteran “Steve McAuley” (EMI Records, RCA Records).

The message is simple with “THE PLAYDATES”. They are writing great songs and having fun doing it.
