The Eyebrows of Melody with GRETTA SEABIRD

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/04/06

Gretta Seabird are symbiotes of pop: their beautiful songs bond with and absorb the properties of every sub-genre without ever losing their Seabird-ness. Folk pop? Sure. Dance pop? You bet. Spoon-centric pop? If the mood strikes. The band joins the show this week for an INCREDIBLE in-studio live performance that will break your tender hearts and fill you with joy. We also discuss the value of songwriting challenges, the self-respecting clarinet and the shameful saxophone, giant-sunglass scams...

Dutch Bros Rock with UTILITY

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/04/01

Portland duo Utility wring every drop of bombast, power, melody, and even delicacy that it's possible to squeeze from a bass and drums. On the occasion of the vinyl release of their recent album "How to Protect What's Left" and upcoming Midwest tour, Utility drummer and musician lifer Adam Draper joins the show this week. The fellas chat about growing and changing as a person in-and-out of phase with growth as a musician, the cyclical import of heavy music, the challenge of rocking the socks ...

Gas Station Labubu with DRY SOCKET

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/03/17

Dry Socket are the super-heavy, load-bearing wall of Portland hardcore punk music. Their music blends the intensely personal (warts and all) with communal, universal catharsis, and they are just embarking on their biggest year yet. To celebrate their upcoming European tour and the March 27 release of their latest record "Self Defense Lessons", Dani and Geoff from Dry Socket stop by to wage the war of the hot dog versus the garbage disposal, discuss authenticity with empathy, growing up...

The Grocery Outlet Conundrum with MAT RANDOL

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/02/24

Portland MC Mat Randol believes in the challenges of hip hop: to grow and evolve, to live at the edge of his comfort zone, to tell the truth, and to find the joy. On the mic he's dexterous, dynamic, and confessional...but he also wouldn't say no to a few choice sips in the studio. His 2026 is scheduled to be a non-stop banger of releases, collaborations, and live music. Plus, he's a great hang, as you'll hear in this episode. He stopped by to discuss the timely feedback that altered the direc...

Hathaway Dabs with NIGHT HERON

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2026/02/17

Night Heron is sexy, smokey, smoldering, sartorial (insert favorite 'S' superlative) Portland lush-pop nurtured to life by frontman and guitarist Cameron Spies—along with a murderer's row of musicians from the vanguard of Portland music. Cameron joined the fellas this week to chat on finding freedom within a defined sonic palette, the producer's ear vs. the creator's ear, wound packing (pro or con?), KEXP gratitude, Boss horniness, and the authorial voice of High Times. Plus killer music! Mus...

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...

The Haute Garbage Podcast ·

2025/11/28

This week we talked to Jordan Casner. Jordan is a comedian and Portland's reining funniest person. We talk about comedy when the internet exists, the gauntlet of winning Portland's Funniest Person, live albums, and cool uncles. 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...
