Get Dirty
Brooklyn's Dirty on Purpose bring their shoegaze-infused lo-fi indie-pop (hyphen fun!) to the Empty Bottle this Friday. Achieving new levels of popularity and success from their 2006 release Hallelujah Sirens, the four-some excels at bittersweet bright (yet melancholy filled) melodies such as "My Summer Dress" or "Lake Effect." But the truly juicy tracks are ones like "Monument," purely instrumental tracks full of raging feedback and distortion, similar to what The Smashing Pumpkins might have sounded like if they were a My Bloody Valentine cover act. Following up Hallelujah Sirens, Dirty on Purpose will soon be releasing a new EP Like Bees. They'll be sure to pull out some new tracks for their show, so keep an ear pealed.
Dirty on Purpose @ Empty Bottle, 10/5, 10PM. 21+, $12. Also playing are Fujiya & Miyagi.
"No Radio" (from Hallelujah Sirens)
