On this week’s episode I sit down with one of my oldest friends and we talk about forming our old band, The Escaped, our accomplishments, and why we broke up. Rose City Hardcore history
This was badass. I’m more from the 80’s punk scene in SFV but can totally relate to these stories. I played drums in a few punk bands and got to see all the great bands while they were still kinda small. The roller rink nearby had shows on the weekends. Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Social D, Minor Threat, BR all the Oxnard bands and pretty much any other touring band of the day. Then trips to Hollywood and OC. It was such a great time. Hung with the Fatal Error guys. By the time you guys were doing your thing I was a married union sheet metal worker doing the family thing, but the stories didn’t change much. Thanks for digging up some great memories for me.
The Escaped was the reason I ever got into Punk. I was a kid across the river in Vancouver, had a health class with Brian (he was a junior and I was a freshman) and we always talked music, when he joined he pushed y’all’s first CD “Born To Lose” on me and I dug the shit out of it. A year or so later I finally went to a show at a place called Sons of Norway, I think the line up was All Out, One Day War, The Escaped and Defiance, and it was a complete turning point for me. Y’all’s music was the soundtrack to my youth and twenty years later I still find myself listening occasionally. This was a super cool interview to listen to, maybe it’s dorky to say but thanks for being rad and making kick ass music back in the day. Changed my life, at least musically.
Man, thank you so much for the kind words and great review. I believe it was the Riffs other than Defiance at that show but I have the flier I’ll have to check. Thank you for taking the time to listen
I was working at a strip club and heard you guys were doing a show down the street so I decided to leave work to check it out. I got a few blocks down the street on foot before realizing I was only wearing a bra, booty shorts and 7 inch heels... I had to talk them out of firing me because I did the booking and wasn't "setting a good example".... Good times...
That white sid vicious shirt tony is wearing in the photo at the beginning, is that the infamous shirt he wore for the whole tour? I will omit the details about how it got bloody…..
I remember getting kicked out of that lower class brats show if I remember right it was New Year’s Eve at the Paris theater. Hahaha and I am also remembering that I bought your black epiphonne SG with all the gold hardware. Oh man lots of good memories.
@@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13 I really appreciate you taking the time to watch them homie, means a lot. Hopefully next time I’m back out your way we can catch up
Hey buddy, it's Gerry C, your guitar partner from your 2004 tour w/ the Heroes. Haha. I dont do any real social media but I wanna get ahold of ya and chat, motherfucker! Lots of stories! Miss ya, buddy
@@MondaysWithMooch I love the idea do you have a website up? I've noticed that the guys in Europe have gyms and boxing rings , garage areas to work on bikes and pools. That's so cool I really enjoyed you taking us on that trip to, the Pacific Northwest has some beautiful country. " The one's with the most miles wins!"
Not punk, but do you by chance remember Big Daddy Meat Straw, or is that before your time? Anyone remember the G.G. show at the Satyricon? Man those days were so rad
Warts Taem Yddad Gib! Vinny cleanhands was the door guy at the Xray Cafe and later I worked with him at Satyricon. Thurstons dead at the line of scrimmage is still a banger!! Robin Banks, the singer for big dad is a DJ on 94.7 fm knrk.

I remember that sold out show at the Paris.
Was that the Rancid 2000 tour? AFI and the Distillers opened. I think the club in Seattle was called deviate or something like that.
Oh shit. The boys are back in town.
