VERTIGO is a band that has it's roots in North St. Louis County. The core of the band (Eric, Todd and Tim) have been together and playing for over Three years. Brian is the most recent addition to the band, and as a group we've been playing together for two years now. We have already produced one album and are in the process of shopping it around, and we are currently working on our second. However, our true passion in the music industry is to play live.
