What's the meaning behind the band's name? Vertigo Blue began as a three member Synth Pop band with members: Mike Naus, Colin Travis and Stacey Quebodeaux. We needed a name and Colin came up with one name: "Vertigo" and Mike came up with "Digital Blue". We combined the names and came up with Vertigo Blue. Later, Mike went on as a solo artist and kept the name. Sometimes there is a TM at the end of the name... this stands for the Registered Mark as I own on the name.
How the band started?? After being the keyboardist in some alternative rock bands, I had left to go into the music that I liked, being techno and synth pop. I met Colin at a local music gear store and as we traded synthesizers- we decided to get together and work on a band. This was in late 1995 and in 1996 we came up with Vertigo Blue and had a song on a Control-Alt-Delete Network compilation CD.
What's the message to transmit with your music?? My goal are positive messages yet at times as in a riddle. I also write in space and alien type themes.
What's your method at the time of writting a song?? Songs vary... usually music first then lyrics. I am into synthesizers, so I try to experiment with different type of sounds.
Which is your music influences?? Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Crystal Method -the list is extensive.
