    The Staircase Sled Bass Heist with SATAN'S PILGRIMS

    We often sit down with bands that will ONE DAY be Portland music legends. But it's the rare treat to be in the presence of bands that are legends RIGHT NOW. Such is the case this week, when we sit down with Portland Surf Rock institution Satan's Pilgrims. Seriously, you guys, they're in the Oregon Music Hall of Fame and have been in the game since '92! They grace us with an insider's look at the history and meaning of surf, the open mind and open heart of Portland music that has endured for decades, playing the Hollywood Bowl, the brief heyday of pilgrim-themed rock 'n roll, and tons more. You'll love it. Promise.   Music this week: "Surf Lyre" by Satan's Pilgrims (23:57)"Crying In A Storm" by Satan's Pilgrim (51:57)"Firestorm" by The Von Dwells (69:19)"Hope for the Best, Expect the Worst" by Johnny Franco (101:54)

    The Eyebrows of Melody with GRETTA SEABIRD

    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 (pros and cons), the ineffability of musical cool, and the disappointments of Christian punk.  Music this week: "Cycling" by Gretta Seabird (13:28)"The Hand That Holds the Gun" by sewerbitch! (36:35)"Goodbye for Now" by Gretta Seabird (56:28)"Here" by Gretta Seabird (67:16)"Thing" by Mingus Maps (95:26)

    Dutch Bros Rock with UTILITY

    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 off one's own mother, and the hidden apartment inside the home of YOUR Portland Trailblazers. Plus, some raaaaaaaad tunes! Music this week: "Your Pain is an Ocean" by Utility (18:20)"Side FX" by Dykeritz (37:46)"Shiny Things" by Utility (58:20)"846" by Quando Quando Quando (80:20)"Final Piss" by Bobby Shock (96:45)

    Gas Station Labubu with DRY SOCKET

    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 hardcore and its complicated legacy, grassroots anti-boofing, and the clear holder of the most hardcore bird (MHB) championship belt.  Music this week: "Abomination" by Dry Socket (17:52)"The Hull" by Weft (28:12)"Leglock" by Dry Socket (57:46)"Bootlicker" by SPY (74:49)"Again" by Railing (88:55)

    Second Listen: Eurotrash Bagpipe Techno with ABRONIA

    To celebrate their recently released fourth studio album, "Shapes Unravel", we're re-releasing our 2024 conversation with Portland mystics Abronia! Eric from the band talks feeling like your inspirations, bands that would have gotten worse, biographies, D&D, psychedelics, practicing for your future, and partial bottom nudity. Rippin' music from this episode includes Abronia, Step Into The Kitchen, Ak’chamel, and M.Aundre.

    The Grocery Outlet Conundrum with MAT RANDOL

    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 direction of his musical approach, building the experiences that add up to an artist, and keeping his core themes fresh. And he drops some WORLD PREMIERES on us!  Music this week: "Randy's Song" by Mat Randol (16:39)"Lee Me Be" by Keys Open Doors ft. M.D (29:43)"Since You've Been Gone" by Mat Randol (43:11)"Hopscotch" by Mat Randol ft. Zavy and Saige Wolley (62:39)"Oregon Coast" by Sweeps, luv pug (80:39)

    Hathaway Dabs with NIGHT HERON

    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! Music this week: "Stronger Than Me" by Night Heron (23:01)"LEECHES (PLAY DEAD)" by Suzie True (43:24)"Arrival" by Night Heron (52:48)"Get Me" by Seance Crasher (68:05)"Si Te Vas" by Sotomayor (88:44)

    Second Listen: Allowed to Be Loud with CHILDSPEAK

    In honor of their freshly dropped single "You Guys Wanna Eat Some More Mushrooms?" we're replaying our delightful conversation with the instrumental prog/post rock trio, Childspeak! We get into the freedom of writing music without vocals, the abstract codes of songwriting, conquering hiccups, how ridiculous genre is, and Andy digs his heels back into anti-marketing. Cherish the memories in this one, then go buy the new Childspeak single! Music this week: "Turn That Down... ...I Already Did" by Childspeak (13:12)"Like Cattle" by Unspeakable Carnage (32:17)"Whittle" by Helens (41:32)"Shame Bats" by Childspeak (53:28)"Ned Schneeblee" by The Burning Peppermints (70:48)
