Miss Massive Snowflake
Miss Massive Snowflake is the nom de plume of the most definitely masculine Shane de Leon previously of musical experimentationalists Rollerball. In additon to his work on Miss Massive Snowflake he has recorded with a multitude of bands including 31 Knots, Six Foot Sloth and Narwhal vs. Narwhal and regularly exhibits artwork in Portland, San Diego, and Milan, Italy. The multi talented Mr de Leon has also published 9 comics under the title Starbage Can and has had his art featured in Top Shelf Comics, Hypno Magazine, and Genetic Disorder.
The claustrophobic music of Miss Massive Snowflake is like the soundtrack to an unsettling film noir from the 22nd Century. It's jam packed with snatched samples of dialogue, fragments of naive childlike vocals (check out the truly scary 'The Hunt' on the MMS myspace site) , electronic samples and sombre beats that congeal into a wierd pop from an alternative dimension like Barry Adamson and Beck playing name that tune with the The Beta Band.

Silber Records, which sprang the loins of the QRD zine, has been releasing innovative, creative and downright experimental music for over 11 years. Like all great labels Silber's mission is simply to deliver great music that deserves to be heard from the bedroom, the garage or the cellar direct to your ears. Again like all great labels Silber are more a family of artists than a business and, while they obviously need to make some money to feed themselves and their families, they exist because they love music.
Like the Devil's favourite label Filthy Little Angels, Silber do a free to download compilation every six months or so. Their latest, Silber Sounds of Halloween, is available now.
