Film School is a five-piece indie rock band from San Francisco, California.
[edit] Musical career
The band was formed in the late 1990s by lead singer Krayg Burton. Initially the band only consisted of Burton working with members of Fuck and Pavement when they released their debut album A Brilliant Career on MeToo! records in 2001. Jason Ruck (keyboards), Nyles Lannon (guitarist), Justin LaBo (bass guitar), and Ben Montesano (drums) joined the band on a permanent basis later that year. In 2003, the band released AlwaysNever, an EP on Amazing Grease Records, a record label founded by Scott Kannberg from the band Pavement. Donny Newenhouse later replaced Montesano on drums. Their self-titled album was released in January of 2006 on Beggars Banquet Records. Film School has also provided music for a series of short films by Demetri Martin, known collectively as "Clearification", an advertising campaign for Windows Vista.
