The Bran Flakes are a sound collage pop group with members in the United States and Canada who specialize in creating music from pre-existing sources. The group's members include Otis Fodder (in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) and Mildred Pitt (in Seattle, WA). Along with other bands such as Negativland and Evolution Control Committee, the Bran Flakes make extensive use of sampling, recontextualizing the samples into new works. The group scours thrift shops for obscure and quirky LPs; some of their songs also make use of recognizably famous basslines, television shows, and soundtracks from video games. The unauthorized nature of much of their work has prevented the band's work from wide commercial release. Following the 1998 release of ''I Remember When I Break Down'' on Ovenguard Music, on which Otis Fodder was sole writer, the group's first album as a duo (Otis Fodder and Mildred Pitt) was in 1999, with ''Hey Won't Somebody Come and Play'' on Ovenguard Music. 2001 saw the release of ''I Don't Have a Friend'' on Lomo Records. Their 2002 album ''Bounces!'' was released on the band's own Happi Tyme Records, and contained one of their most popular songs; "Good Times a Goo Goo", which sampled extensively from Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear's performance of "Moving Right Along" from ''The Muppet Movie''. In 2008 the band signed with the label Illegal Art, known for such acts as Girl Talk and Steinski. ==Discography (CD)== * The Bran Flakes - I Remember When I Break Down (1998, Ovenguard Music) * The Bran Flakes - Hey Won't Somebody Come and Play (1999, Ovenguard Music - Reissue 2003 on Happi Tyme) * The Bran Flakes - I Don't Have A Friend (2000, Lomo) * The Bran Flakes - Bounces!
