As the world presents with many interesting and winding moments and goings on... and for those who inquire...

Vertigo Blue is not  from New Jersey and is not the same band that was using the same name from the H.S. Show nor any relationship to the Engineer or staff  from that show.  Vertigo Blue (also referenced as Vertigo Blue TM, the TM for the legal Registered / Trademark name) began in 1996 in Houston, Texas prior to that time period of the other rock band who is no longer using the name...

Past and Present:

At the start in 1996 Vertigo Blue as a trio had landed their song, "Christmas Day" on a Holiday compilation album, "CatClaus 96" released by the Synthpop network titled Control-Alt-Delete. That year, Colin Travis and Stacey Quebodeaux teamed up with Mike to release the song, "Christmas Day"... which is now available on the Vertigo Blue TM Bandcamp Page and for listening on the Vertigo Blue TM YouTube Channel.  After completion, Colin and Stacey returned to their other music projects. Mike continued as Vertigo Blue in a solo role initially composing experimental Electronica and signed with the Ultra Trec Records label in 1998 releasing an EP titled, "To The Future". Other of his compositions found their way onto numerous Electronica compilation albums released by We Records. In 2001 Mike started his own record label, Ozmotic Records which would continue to be the home label for Vertigo Blue TM.
