Flakes has been played on NTS shows including Weekend Read w/ Jonah Rabb, with Sugar Frosted Lover first played on 11 September 2015.

There are at least four bands known as "The Flakes".

One is a garage rock band from the Bay Area.

Another is a hard pop band from Sweden.

There was also a funk/disco outfit masterminded by Mel Bolton and Marilyn McCleod, who had produced the act with assistance from mixers Jimmy Simpson and Rick Gianatos and achieved immortality with "Sugar Frosted Lover", described as "a lightweight lyric transformed by spine-tingling vocals into a tour de force of dance nirvana". They are said to have vanished from sight shortly afterwards.

A fourth Flakes band based in Atlanta during the late 90's and early 2000's featuring Randy Castello and Patrick Foley and a slew of drummer. Their music was experimental improvisational indie rock with lots of vintage film projections.
