Dirty on Purpose performs live before the films!
Pitchfork--Rating 7.7 - "Blurry, constantly in motion, Dirty on Purpose look to make sense of whatever drama that can be found in between coming down in the morning and waking up to it." Presented by Rooftop Films and Sound Fix Records Followed by the Short Film Program This is What We Mean By Short Films Listen to Dirty on Purpose on MySpace Buy Tickets to the show at going.com. Venue: Open Road Rooftop Ticket price includes admission to all events that evening, including the musical performance, the films, and the open bar after party at Fontana's , sponsored by Radeberger Beer About the Band: Yo La Tengo is still the most obvious touchstone, although “Marfa Lights” has the buzzing, slow-build intensity of a classic Sonic Youth tune, and “Your Summer Dress” offers echoes of the Sundays’ diaphanous guitar shimmer. Overall, however, Dirty on Purpose have established a sound that’s recognizably their own. Stewart Mason, All Music Guide “The many moods of youthful Brooklyn rockers.” The full-length debut from this Brooklyn foursome is a wet dream of collegiate, aural wizardry, swinging smartly between noisy rambunctiousness and delicate bedroom pop. Whenever bombast threatens to veer into utter chaos (on the semispastic “Car No Driver”) or pensive space-outs drift too far into the ether (“Always Looking Part 2”), they deftly regain control. Hotly tipped folk newcomer Jaymay lends sprightly backing vocals on several tracks, including the pretty but melancholic “Light Pollution.” Peter Gaston, Spin The band is worthy of the hype... What I love about [Hallelujah Sirens] -- it could have gone a couple of ways. The co-ed vocals, gauzy guitars, the way those creeping subterranean basslines work their way through the songs, puts me in mind of those British shoegazer bands of the early 90s. the big washes of guitar sound, beautiful atmospheric melodies tucked inside these big cavernous guitarscapes... But there’s a flipside to this band. They could just do that beautiful humungous ballad thing for an entire album and probably do pretty well at it. But they also got these grooves going — the bass/drums thing — that sort of hurdling momentum of these songs is what really put me over the top about this record. I think about listening to this record as if i was hearing a great song rushing past me from a subway train. Like you just hear it, and it’s passed you before you know it.
