DJ Jinners Tonight @ Galapagos For Pomp & Circumstance Party

Welcome Artanker Convoy to the OTMM Roster!

Social Registry band Artanker Convoy joins the roster at On the Moon Music!

They will be playing a show at Bowery Ballroom in New York on June 21 with Polvo. Come out and hang...

Look out for a 7" soon and some more great music to come... Pick up their latest album, Cozy Endings, which has received lots of nice press:

Time Out London: simmering, downtempo funk and avant-jazz while maintaining a delicate balance between soul and sleaze.

The Wire: ...an eclectic groove stew, equal parts funk and freakout. There are definite tinges of Miles Davis' early 70s groups. "Ejector" could be straight off Big Fun with its mid-tempo laidback shimmer and shimmy. "Black Dauphin" soups itself up into a ghetto Prince strut, jutting its chin into the sun baked fuel thick city air. Likewise, "Geyser" is a slippery piece of funk with some warm smokey guitar playing. The standout is "Open Up," a slow burn number with a percussion rustling intro, the guitar player rolling on the faders before the beat kicks in, his instrument now digging deep into the reverb on the bottom strings and surfing the echo on the high notes.

XLR8R: (Office Top Ten Album Pick) ...New York supergroup Artanker Convoy makes pretty drone jazz on the brilliant Cozy Endings

Seattle Weekly: The references to '70s Miles Davis will abound; Artanker Convoy's Cozy Endings is a slab of jazzy grooving that simmers like Brooklyn pavement in mid-August. While Davis is an apt comparison for this mix of jazz, psychedelia, bossa nova, and soul , it's more a descendant of trumpeter Don Cherry's Brown Rice in its attempt to make jazz into something more accessible, trippy, and danceable. Every number on here is a laid-back (note: laid-back, not slow) burner that swings, shakes, and sometimes struts. Though the percussion work is light overall, the leader of the band is drummer Artanker (hence the band moniker). He and bassist Joe Florentino lay down extremely minimal beats of shimmering cymbal and subtle bass lines, which the band proceeds to build around with liquid keyboard drips and saxophone purrs that float just above the song's foundation. In this way, they are like Can; each song grows organically into something awkwardly suited for a dance party of sorts. Given that they are on the Social Registry label, it's only natural that they also have a significant trance element to their music. Like the best of its ilk, Cozy Endings is a major chill-out record. Now that I think of it, Beastie Boys songs like "Namaste" and Lighten Up" are also major reference points for this record. BRIAN J. BARR

Time Out New York: "raw, ferociously funky stuff that nods toward 70s Miles, with Artanker driving the whole train from behind his kit."

The Journal Review: "an updated, dancier version of Pink Floyd."

Spin.com: Artanker Convoy played a heavily psychedelic, dub-inflected set. The Brooklyn six-piece channeled Can and Spacemen 3 with their dense sound, and differentiated themselves from like-minded contemporaries with the prominent use of hand drums and a saxophone. The set was accompanied by visuals of the band members refracted through effects that accompanied the music, making the performance all the trippier.

Norman Records: "sounds like David Holmes funking up Tortoise which is no bad thang, dude. In fact the whole 4 tracker is on a funky, jazzy post rock trip down NY Blvd. Niiiice!."

Philadelphia City Paper: "...sounds great ... lulls the listener into a stupor with slight shades of soul, Krautrock, bossa nova, hip-hop, psych, punk funk and New York noise. Prepare to be bowled over."

Vice (UK): "(9 out of 10) lushly jazzy in a cool, electronic, tastefully abstract way"

CMJ: psychsperimental outfit that culls elements from dub, funk, jazz and earthly excess

"As good as their debut Hallelujah Sirens was, Like Bees does a better job of crystallizing what's great about the band, namely the way they balance their noisier inclinations with their innate pop sense. It's something many attempt, some do well but few do really well."

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo to commemorate the moment. If anyone has a photo of this from Tuesday night, that would be awesome. Please email it to me!

Update: Thanks to the Tripwire for picking up the above photo of Doug on the bongos and Heather on the mic at the PBJ show. Sweaty and sexy! Read their review of the show here.

Dirty on Purpose (and OTMM) Heart OXFAM

So as you know we've been supporting OXFAM AMERICA on the Dirty on Purpose tours, collecting petition signatures and giving out informational brochures -- apparently, they're the first indie band to participate with Oxfam in that way. Oxfam usually asks biggies like U2 or Coldplay to spread the word on tour. Anyways, it feels good to be giving back in some way, and we hope you investigate further and check out all the good deeds Oxfam America does for poverty and fair trade.

Here we are with Oxfam America at SXSW 2007 in Austin, TX.

Here is a collection of my favorite Dirty on Purpose quotes found via Google:

"If you enjoy My Bloody Valentine, you will enjoy this band, I promise you."
- Whitney Pastorek, Entertainment Weekly

"So Hallelujah Sirens’ songs are always tight and buttoned-down, a bit intellectual, but probably ready to party on the weekends. When they hit town, surfers, scenesters, and audiophiles of all genres should find something to cheer for in this band."
- Jeff Stratton, The OC Weekly

"It tore my heart. This is when it starts getting crazy. You get to see some of your favorite bands, but you want to see other bands that you've never seen before. I was addicted to Dirty on Purpose like a vile drug a couple of months ago, and they even sounded good inside some crappola tent in the rain....guys can't do no harm in my eyes...."
- Julio Enriquez, Cause=Time

"about midway into their set, Dirty on Purpose started to build the tempo, the energy, the volume, and the melody all at once. Every song got better and more interesting as they went on. They always retained their shimmering sleepiness- violin bows on guitar strings and all- but there was about a 20 minute section of their set, towards the end, where I literally forgot where I was. The audience disappeared, the friends I was with vanished, nothing really seemed to exist any longer. The band was there, playing, and I could hear them, but they seemed distant, despite my toes touching the edge of the stage. I got rather enjoyably lost in the soundscapes being created, and ended up literally traveling to some mental dreamland where time moved slower and all sounds had natural reverb. It was quite nice, and I ended up enjoying Dirty on Purpose quite a bit. (Though, one last thing: can’t The Big Sleep and Dirty on Purpose exchange band names? Seriously.)"
- Chris, RetroLowFi

this is a random story i found online in someone's personal blog about hooking up after a dirty on purpose show in new york this past december -- which i think proves all of our friends' theories that dirty on purpose is the best sexy time music out there right now. are you reading this, borat?
- NY Radical

ahem - i dubbed dirty on purpose bootygaze after our lawyer said that their music was the best music to put on after you make a booty call. guaranteed to get you laid. or least a hot hot hot makeout session.

"Dirty On Purpose have been coming to SxSW as long as I have and it doesn't seem like Sx unless I catch the boys somewhere somewhen. Their set seemed extra short with a couple new songs mixed in with Hallelujah Sirens selections and while it may have been a little early in the day for some to appreciate their fuzz-pop (or maybe just early for the band to be playing) I enjoyed their set as I always do."
- Frank, Chromewaves

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."
