Miss Massive Snowflake marry traditional familiarities and edgy concepts with catchy energetic rock, and craft deceptively intricate songs. Like a Book blends angled radio hits, a jazz sensibililty, and boy band punk.

This is the first single off of the the new album, Like A Book, due out on February 21, 2011. Three songs that are all rather short, pretty catchy, and totally awesome. The title cut is a great story about touring in Europe, we think. Enjoy.

This looks like a classic 7" record with a folded picture sleeve, but instead of a piece of vinyl, you get a paper replica of a 7" with unique download code. Arty... for sure, but cheap and awesome. Some older cuts and outtakes from "Songs About Music".

Charismatic weird rockers, Miss Massive Snowflake, craft catchy and deceptively intricate pop songs that are lyrically engaging and musically adept, a politically charged mix of glammy rock and dynamic compositions. Piloted by the irrepressible Shane de Leon, whose strong voice and humorous wit, lead protest songs that come off like party anthems. Horns wail and punch screwed groove guitar riffs, while fat bass and polyrhythmic percussion combine with both female and male vocals to make beautiful, moving, and intellectually satisfying rock music.
This is Miss Massive Snowflake's second full-length album following the 2008 electronic based, Queen's Headache".

Queen's Headache is the first full length cd by Miss Massive Snowflake, who is Shane de Leon
(ex-Rollerball vocalist and trumpeter). The music is lush and orchestrated with an abundance of horns,
percussion, and electronics. The songs are short, the message is huge, and de Leon has brought in lots of
kids to do his lyrical dirty work about stopping the war and loving each other. Two of the vocalists
are under ten and the other singer besides de Leon is Portland's love master himself, Larry Yes. Queen's
Headache is an extremely fun, funky, and timely album that is filled with quality songs and ideas. The feel
is somewhere between an atheistic Danielson Famile, an anarchistic Prince, and a less technical Zappa.
