Film School, an Alternative/Psychedelic/Chinese pop band (as delineated on their MySpace page) from L.A. and San Francisco will be rocking it out at the Fillmore on Thursday, May 29th. Their newest album, Hideout has been praised by critics as "Everything you dig about Film School remains intact on Hideout. The glistening sonics awash in heart-stopping frost. Strolling vocals looking for a home. Pure guitars that heroically strangle and singe." (Under the Radar) They are finishing their tour at the end of this month in L.A.

Listen to "Lectric"

Praise for Hideout

"Hideout excels as mood music, with at least one stellar single ("Two
Kinds") that creates a new and better one than however you felt before."
-XLR8R

"'Sick Hipster Nursed by Suicide Girl' is Nu shoegazing with aggressive
Spacemen 3 or Swervedriver edge" -PLAYBOY

"The My Bloody Valentine and Jesus and Mary Chain influences are obvious,
but so is Bertens' talent for making self-absorbed shoegaze sound beautiful
instead of annoying."-THE ONION AV CLUB

"Ever heard of the sophomore slump? Film School hasn't…one killer of a
follow-up release."
-THE TRIPWIRE
