The Story of Orlando's Damage with Mike Brown /////// Mike Brown of Orlando synth hardcore band Damage shares the story of the band’s journey through Central Florida’s underground music scene.

The band started out as Brain Damage, but shortened the name to Damage for a gig at a Chuck E. Cheese, of all places. From there, things took off. One of their most iconic shows was opening for the Dead Kennedys at the Syrian Lebanese Hall in Orlando.

Mike talks about the band’s lineup over the years, venues, and various shows and scenes across Florida. He also shares what it was like to bring Damage back after nearly 35 years.

We dig into the origins of Space Fish Records, Splash Zine, and Club Space Fish. The club hosted countless shows, but is most remembered for the infamous GG Allin performance that ultimately led to its closure.

Mike also touches on his 90s band Disco Biscuit and gives us a look at what Damage is doing today.
