When the weather outside gets frightful, you might not be eager to curl up in front of a band called Miss Massive Snowflake, but Shane de Leon’s witty contemporary pop tunes of love, family and loss of trust make for some truly heartwarming, emotive storytelling. With quirky simplicity and moody, sometimes psychedelic lyrics, the Portland, Oregon-based project draws comparisons to David Byrne and Flaming Lips. The band is currently gigging on its fourth album, So Sweet.
Monday 1/5. Free, 8pm. Blue Moon Diner, 512 W. Main St. 980-6666.
