Film School -- FREE INSTORE

Film School Instore Performance
Tuesday, September 11th, 7:00 PM
**Wristband Event **

We are excited to announce that Film School will do a special street-date instore to celebrate the release of their new CD Hideout. We've been fans of their richly textured, sometimes spacey, sometimes noisy guitar rock since their Alwaysnever ep in 2003. We haven't had a chance to hear their new one yet, but word on the street is that it's even more textured and driving than their earlier releases. Hideout was written mostly in Greg's Los Angeles apartment, recorded in LA and SF, and mixed by the fantastic Phil Ek (BTS, Band of Horses, Shins, Malkmus). I read somewhere the words "plaintive longing" to describe the feeling of the band's music, and that's probably better than anything I'll come up with today. They've opened for The National and the Rogers Sisters, and we're thrilled that they've chosen our little stage to celebrate the release of their new CD. Come in or call to get a wristband to reserve your space at this event.

"Wonderfully off-kilter pop songs"
    - NME

"Hideout isn't out until Sept. 11, but it's already creating a buzz from those who've heard its buzzing guitars and reverb-heavy dynamics. Its the kind of album that dares you to roll up your car windows, crank it and be swallowed whole."
    - Kevin Bronson, LA Times

You can check out some of their new tracks on their MySpace page.
