Dirty On Purpose Call It Quits And Announce Farewell New Year’s Eve Show

You know how every music fan has a band that both they’re obsessed with and the average indie kid has never heard of? The kind of band that always finds its way onto every mix CD? Well, Dirty On Purpose was my secret obsession -- “was” being the operative word, as they are no longer. The New York quartet has decided to break up “after spending an unusual and unhealthy amount of time together over the years.” They're scheduled to play a farewell show at the Mercury Lounge in New York City on New Year’s Eve with A Place To Bury Strangers.

The saddest part about all of this? Dirty On Purpose’s headline on MySpace still reads: “Working on a new album…” Sniff, sniff. Perhaps we can still expect this album at some point in the future? Well, the band members are definitely continuing on with other musical projects, so that’s better than nothing at all.
