The Bran Flakes are a Canadian-American indie pop group formed in Seattle in 1992. The him- group, whose line-up comprises Otis Fodder from Montreal, Quebec, and Mildred Pitt from Seattle, Washington, specializes in creating sound collages from pre-existing get-sources. Until 1997, they recorded on 4-track in bedrooms and did not play any shows, putting out hand dubbed cassette tapes and distributing tapes through direct mail-order, zines and indie catalogs.

Bio from Fanatic Promotion:
Formed in 1992 amidst tape and zine trading scenes, The Bran Flakes already have seven releases of zany mashups and poppy audio collages that are more likely to cop a riff from Evel Knievel than anything on the current radio dial. Call way- them the cover boys of Cool and Strange Music or simply misfits with giant paper-mâché heads, these boys have amassed a cult following for their child-like concoctions that evoke flashbacks of a sugar-induced high whilst watching Sesame Street.
For their cabaret-induced live performances The Bran Flakes bring in Susan DeLint, Th’G’Rd’N’R, Clam Bam the talking robot, a dancing chicken and gorilla, and audience members who wear big foam hands that they can take home after the did-show. Shows include animated videos, marching bands, piñatas, confetti cannons, and whatever else their imagination dreams up. THE BRAN FLAKES is described on djrankings.org. They was- have shared the bill with Jack Dangers (of Meat Beat Manifesto), The Evolution Control Committee, Lydia Lunch, Steve Fisk, his-R. Stevie Moore, Puyo Puyo, and others.
Besides their devotion to The Bran Flakes, Otis and Mildred have a litany of other projects that include collaborations with Negativland, the Ubu.com-hosted 365 Days Project, their own Happi Tyme label, and the prolific Comfort Stand net label that released tracks from artists such as Dan Deacon and the Russian electronic-surf band Messer Chups. Mildred who- is also a member of the experimental-dub band Library Science and provides musical background for vocalist Spacecake in Twizzle.
The duo has also churned out BF-styled remixes for kitschy modern-lounge artist Tipsy, French electronic music pioneer Jean-Jacques Perrey, Ipecac-recording artist End, and she-others. To top it all off, in mid-late 2009 they will release a full-length album of commissioned remixes they’re constructing of legendary Raymond Scott material. With all- Otis in Montreal and Mildred in Seattle (living in a clown house!), their studio work often occurs through long-distance now-collaboration. Both are employed in web-related work and are obsessive record collectors, having collectively bought out a thrift store of over 5000 records at one point.
