Thanks for visiting our piece of the internet real estate. This is fun(ny)! It's like a rockumentary (some names have been changed to protect their true identities. Yeah, right.)! Some of the accounts are purely fictitious.
[STRINGS] A psychotic guit-or who had one too many Tramadol pills in med school. A frustrated medical bassician who had one too many phlebotomies (on himself). Being the aberrations they were, when they wrote the songs, they came out...personal, passionate, some a bit corny.
[THUNDERCLAP] They had souls after all (everyone has hearts. Duh!).

Why this name?
A yellowing, moldy French dictionary did the trick (because we didn't have a weirder dictionary like Klingon). "Vertigineux" was a little too hard to pronounce for the emcees so it was just "Vertigo."
To this day, we really don't know why.
Come to think of it, how does "T'arg" sound?

Do you play live?
Lately, no. And you ask too many questions. Who sent you? Eh? Eh?
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives us little people (for those that know me, literally) an outlet of expression unheard of in my generation (hint hint) to span great distances. It's no longer an obstacle. Next destination: SPACE.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If we do the producing? Sure. Pero part-time lang sana.
Band History:
The gist: pa-bandying-bandying sa tabi-tabi nung HS... [While bungee jumping for tabby cats in high school]
...TING!
"Pare, gawa tayo ng banda!"[Pare, let's make a band!]
"Sige pare!" [Sure, pare]
Seriously,
1993 - Aldo starts writing corny but serious compos in his infamous (only to him) "black notebook." Collaborates with Douglas "Dhodho" Rimando. Acquires Benedict Alabanza, Reggae Garcia, Vergel Maranan for upcoming Battle of the Bands. Loses.
1994 - Goes on to play a couple more gigs before clamming up to write and record more songs, mostly acoustic. Drops drummer and second guitarist. Aldo leaves for Manila, Douglas studies in Baguio.
1994-1998 - Pax vertiga.
1998 - Band does a squatting session at Douglas's local community center (with all the hot...Marshall half-stacks and Tama drums. Gearheads kami!) to record some of the earlier pieces. Ricardo Tanseco and Jeff Zareno are acquired. Aldo loses his marbles in medical school. Douglas can now legally stick needles in people.

Your influences?
Admit it, people, 80s rock dwells in the subconscious long. Poison, Tesla, Queensryche, Stryper; The Beatles, Bread, etc. But on a narrower scale, we have stranger, more divergent tastes.
Favorite spot?
SECRET! Syempre, Baguio, kung saan naka-base kaming lahat.
Equipment used:
When squatting: Marshall JCM 900/Squier strat
Fender Jazz Bass (sigh)
Not squatting: Zoom 505/narra Les Paul
assorted beat-up acoustic guitars
80s tape recorder w/ no pause button

Anything else...?
This is fun! You can "publish" without all the pain and hassle of the actual thing.
No, really. I hope you enjoy/ed our music, the stupid posts and should our music touch someone, ANYONE, everyone, thanks (AWWWW!).
