Art Damage was a radio show on Cincinnati public radio from 1985-2005 which DJed and celebrated experimental music. It prided itself on filling the city's ears with sounds they wouldn't hear anywhere else on local radio. Though cancelled, it's memory and ideals have lived on through former DJs and supporters by presenting experimental music shows for the Cincinnati community. After utilizing the city's few venues that were accepting of such shows through the years, Art Damage has found a new permanent home. The Art Damage Lodge's goal is to be host to experimental music acts which otherwise wouldn't have a venue or outlet in the city.

RADIO SHOW HISTORY
The Art Damage show was initially founded by Dan Williams and first aired at W.A.I.F. in March of 1985. Dan had been an avant-garde musician working out of the Ashland, Ky. area, playing in garage bands such as XY-19 and brewing up his own special brand of homemade experimental music on reel-to-reel tape machines and now-antique synthesizers, under the name Radio Moscow. In March 1984, Dan moved to Cincinnati in the hopes of meeting 11,000 Switches leader and musical agent provocateur Uncle Dave Lewis (then just known as "Dave Lewis"). In early 1985 Dan met Brenda Baker, co-programmer of a modern music show on W.A.I.F. called Ballet Mechanique. Dan guest-hosted this show and did so well that Brenda recommended that he do a regular program. Dan named the new show Art Damage. Uncle Dave was brought on to the second program broadcast and became a regular host minus a seven-year lapse from 1992-98 when Lewis resided in California. Greg Fernandez, (aka Good Cue Sign), the third Art Damage programmer, went on with the third broadcast, but only stayed with the show until November 1985, as he then moved to Columbus to found a classic Art Damage offshoot, the Ring Bells And Blow Whistles show on WOSR-FM (from 1986-89). Dan stayed with the program until 1988, then bowing out due to rising commitments in his professional avocation (working as a television producer). Upon Uncle Dave's departure to L.A. in 1991, Chris Lockhart (simply known as Mr. Lockhart) and Ron Orovitz (under various pseudonyms) took over management responsibilities, keeping the show alive through the 90's, which opened up the program to an entirely new generation of programmers, many from local experimental acts. These have included; Mark Milano, C. Spencer Yeh (of Burning Star Core and Dronedisco), Jeremy Lesniak (of Lesniak and Culture Queer), Jimmiecrackecorne, members of CAF Gallahad (aka Nebula Girl), Neato Torpedo, Roesing Ape, Gordy Horn, Satyr Oz, Helene Phlogiston, Ms. Miranda (of Liquid Death/Hello Pussy Records), Gabe (from 1,000 Arms and The Black Fives), John Rich, Robert Inhuman (of Realicide) and the list goes on and on. The program has influenced an entire generation (two, even) of experimental musicians and has proven to be the major outlet for this type and many other types of music and voices in this typically dry city. On January 29, 2005, Art Damage, Incorporated was founded as a Non-Profit for noise and experimental music and performance. The Art Damage radio show officially returned to WAIF on July 8th, 2008 to the Monday Night/Tuesday morning 12-2am slot.

I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!
