Here’s what Chip wrote about the show on weColumbus:

If you’re looking to determine how much buzz a band has, look no further than the size of a crowd at a band’s SXSW showcase. In 2005, Brooklyn-based Dirty on Purpose filled the venue they were playing in Austin with a large number of music bloggers (myself included) and put out a mesmerizing shoegazing performance. While the distorted and fuzzy guitars do pay homage (a bit) to My Bloody Valentine, the band’s overall sound is more akin to Stateside noisemakers Yo La Tengo. The band’s 2005 EP, Sleep Late for a Better Tomorrow, hinted at the band’s potential while the band’s latest, the debut full-length Hallelujah Sirens (North Street Records), completely blows the covers off.
