Metal Flake Mother is best known in my local areas as a predecessor to the famous Squirrel Nut Zippers. Much to my surprise, they were also apparently the predecessors of the vastly underrated Family Dollar Pharoahs. MFM are on sort of a surfy, Pixies-like alterna-college rock path - nothing groundbreaking, but an enjoyable slab of Pepto Bismol pink (!!!) wax. You would have never expected the Zippers to be the next step from this for Jimbo Mathis, but knowing this band also lead to the Pharoahs and their instrumental surf rock makes PERFECT sense.
