Dirty on Purpose @ 2007 SXSW & Spring Tour

I am pleased to announce that Dirty on Purpose will be performing at the 2007 SXSW Music Festival. The band is also honored to be performing at a couple wonderful Day Parties. Get ready to BBQ, drink and listen to some new (as well as some oldies) Dirty on Purpose music. Check out the party info below and Spring tour dates....

Pitchfork Media - "Brooklyn indie band, Dirty on Purpose, makes an exquisite record about feeling young and passed-by."

Spin Magazine - "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."

Entertainment Weekly - "Employing the strafing guitars of forebears like Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain, Dirty On Purpose beguile by adding tiny bits of heartbreak to the crackling distortion."
