Poop Scooping Hunks with ANDREA MENCHACA

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/02/02

Stand-up comedian Andrea Menchaca is a newly minted member of Portland's Funniest Five and has been building momentum since she began at open mics almost six years ago. We talk about her trajectory, her upcoming comedy special at Milagro and the grant that made it possible, finding the joke with TikTok feedback, butter surcharges for bulk popcorn receptacles, separating your Avatar sex from your Avatar gardening, the bloodsport of comedy competition, and the unanswerable "why???" of still doi...

Double Suckle with PERFECT BUZZ

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/01/27

Perfect Buzz is rock 'n roll that looks good in a leather jacket: brash enough to don one in the first place, yet self-possessed and comfortable-in-their-own-skin enough to pull it off without seeming ridiculous. It's that precise balance (along with a finely calibrated combo of riffage, sneer, and melody) that shines through on their brand-new EP "Happy Trails". This week, Patrick Buzz joins the fellas to discuss that new collection of tunes; the art of dank ranking; how to balance a brain f...

Advent Panty Calendar with DADWEED

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/01/20

Dadweed is an acoustic amalgam; built around the bluegrass staples of stand-up bass, beautiful harmonies, and ample grinning, they also mix in a zesty swirl of pop, country, rock, and even jazz. The trio joined the show this week and graced us with a LIVE, IN-STUDIO PERFORMANCE. We also chat about the kismet of "School of Rock" and the Pokemon theme; the art (and science) of kicking sh*t; the universality of melancholy; the guiding light of melody; and Bigfoot encounters with cryptid cuties.&...

Cheesecake Factory Chunder with BAGWEED

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/01/12

Bagweed music follows in the footsteps of eclectic, sonically diverse, pop-forward artists like Beck: he combines sounds, styles, and textures that hew toward synthesis and smoothness rather than dissonance. We discuss his brand-new collection of songs, "Thank You for Remaining Still", which dropped just last week and is currently available for purchase. That cleared plenty of room for a healthy dialogue on the differences between vom and regurge; the art of getting in and out of a song on ti...

PG Allin with HAPPY DEATH MEN

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/01/08

Punk chaos agents Happy Death Men bring a joyous intensity to must-see live shows that occasionally end in vomit. Sam, Cash, and Javi joined the show to discuss bottling that rawness on their records—as they do with aplomb on their 2025 self-titled release. We chat about nut-heavy subreddits, opening for Jack White, what makes for a healthy music scene, Batman's adult diaper play, and the intrinsic appeal of their music to Wine Moms. Music this week: "Dancing with the Lights Off" by Ha...

2025/11/28

This week we talked to Jordan Casner. Jordan is a comedian and Portland's reining funniest person.

Music this week from Bela Blaq, Kling Klang, Nikki Nair & Uffie, and Split System.

Potential Leper with KILLMER

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/11/01

Killmer is a three-piece rock delight, blending sounds from across the genre and wrapping them in warm, clean production. Their May 2025 release "Primo!" is meant (at least in this listener's opinion) to be enjoyed by adults, with an attention to craft, mood, and message that also knows how to enjoy itself. Fresh off a tour in support of the album, Killmer bassist and singer Brett joined the show to discuss the desire to do everything music can do, the relationships necessary to collabo...

Sloppy Knuckle Style with MOTRIK

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/10/22

Krautrock superstars Motrik have been a driving, pulsing beat at the heart of Portland music for more than a decade. On the eve of their forthcoming album "Earth," Dave, Erik, and Jonah from the band joined us to chat about humane vermin training, the foundational beat at the core of every song in their catalog, the relaxing innovation of mud-themed recording studios, the mechanics of harmonica care, and the evolving interpretations of the Motrik sound that emerged organically from their new ...

Twilight Burner with THE MACKS

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/10/10

The Macks are one of the most creative, focused bands in the Northwest, producing banger after banger at a breakneck pace that can hardly keep up with their work ethic and restlessly evolving sound. Their sixth full-length "Bonanza" dropped just a few weeks ago, and Sam and Ben from the band joined us to talk about prolific rocking/rolling with an eye toward improvement, the hail-mary toiletry of the contemporary American mall, the marketability of merch based on individuals, the Juggalo-curi...

Bratty Arbuckle with CHERRY CHEEKS

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/09/27

Cherry Cheeks is fast-paced, punk/art rock with substance and a sneer. Kyle Harms, the creative force of the band, joins the show this week, and more delighted we could not be. We discuss the persona of the punk rock brat, the importance of songs with genuine meaning, embracing the performer within, the erotic potential of deep-faking yourself, and the plight of the proletariat vis a vis the monocle. Music this week: "Therapy" by Cherry Cheeks (15:23)"Wings of Fire" by The Boojums (28:55)"Bla...

Pre-Cafe Drugs with HELENA RATS

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/09/19

Rock 'n roll rippers Helena Rats are in the house this week! The band's May release "Plague City" embraces the rich possibilities of fast, heavy-tinged guitar music without pretension—though not without an accessible complexity that rewards the true heads. Diego and Jeff from the band pop in to talk about the new tunes, drink-to-performance ratios, the cocktail of ingredients that make up their sound (hint: the 70s play a role), the languages of rock shorthand, and the simpler times of their ...

Artistic Ranch with DAVID WEED

Extatic Zoom with TABOR DANCE

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/08/31

Tabor Dance has grown from a single person shaking off the isolation and disorientation of the pandemic into a Portland institution for a community of thousands. This week, the fellas sit down with Tabor Dance President Katrin Dougherty and Founder Mitchell Hartman to hear the TD origin story, how it was shepherded into maturity through growing pains, and how it continues to grow and evolve. Plus, Drew proves how square he is when it comes to the culture of EDM. Music this week: "Ring T...

Load Titan with MLTZR

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/08/04

Prolific Portland beatmaker and bass player MLTZR joins the fellas this week to drape us in warm, sonic blankets. Restless-but-disciplined, MLTZR is in constant search of vibes, grooves, and connections. We talk about the joys of collaboration, success in creation as an act of completion, exhausting his sonic curiosities, THC-infused wetnaps, and snacking on pickle chips. All that plus some license plate detective. None of us deserve an episode this good...but here we are. Music this we...

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/07/25

It's the long-overdue return of the great NorthernDraw! And he's brought along his collaborator (and top-shelf guest in his own right) LT Headtrip. The two joined us on Draw's birthday (!) to discuss their newest joint release, the siiiiiiick two-hander "Novel Path". We get INSIDE the music on this one with two born creators, talkers, storytellers, and strip club enthusiasts. You can grab "Novel Path" now, and you can check out NorthernDraw's beat showcase, Thirsty City, every last Wednesday ...

Ears of a Clown with LEO LONDON OF THE DOMESTICS

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/06/28

After an unplanned hiatus, the boys come back STRONG with a real Season 2 Hall-of-Fame guest as the GREAT Leo London of The Domestics joins the show! One of Portland's most well-rounded and prolific songwriters, Leo plays some stripped down tunes live, and is an overall super fun, thoughtful thinker on all things music. We get back to our roots with deep dives into the concept of authenticity, fedora self-consciousness, developing a musical taste, and the howling loneliness of the American so...

Hustlin' and Cusslin' with GARRESON

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/05/30

Garreson is a folky, country-y, American-y troubadour with the voice of an angel. But he's also one of the absolute best hangs in the business, and that full range of talents and delights is on display this week. We discuss the energy exchange of live music, the relationship at the center of his forthcoming album Monte, the tragic fate of the common moth, and the works of Clive "The Cuss" Cussler. Music this week includes: "Mother" by Garreson (13:23)"River Valley" by Pelican Ossma...

In this special edition of the Haute Garbage Podcast, Drew sits down 1-on-1 with the newly minted CHAMPION of the Harry Mack Anomaly Cypher freestyle competition, A'Revolution! A'Rev is a renaissance woman: poet, performer, cybersecurity guru, MC, and founder of Sypher Saturdays (the premiere gathering of DJs and Freestylers here in PDX—and, yeah, she knows how it's spelled!). We talk about sharing the stage with a freestyle legend, the evolution of her artistic life, and what it means to go ...

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

Take 10 seconds and grab a pair of oven mitts before you dive into the second installment of our Treefort adventures...cause this one is HOT! We get cozy with a trio of Boise based artists that blew our socks off during the fest...and we sort of needed those socks, 'cause we underpacked. But TOTALLY WORTH IT if the tradeoff is hanging with producer duo Dose Amigos, Alt rock wizards MYLO BYBEE, and super shredders Dirt Russell. Here's the dope tunes we played this week: "Soonish" by Dummy (2:1...
