Vertigo Venus

"The best entertaining band you will ever see"

About Me

Jeff and Chris have been composing music together for 12 years. Originally from Detroit, they have been in over 15 different bands, and performed many styles from hardcore death metal to tango to punk. In 2002 they realized it was time for something new, so they packed up and headed west to New Mexico, in an 91 Ford Mustang, with only their equipment, clothes, and $100. The boys created Vertigo Venus shortly after their arrival in Albuquerque.
Since that fateful summer the boys have recorded and released 2 albums along with performing an inhuman amount of shows. Thier most recent album Run For Your Lives was recorded at thier home studio on DSBP Records . Their unusual clashing of music and personality is quickly getting recognized in the New Mexico music scene.
The Vertigo Venus' live show is intense. Now that Vertigo Venus has recruited two new members, Brian Botkiller & Kenny Cornell , as well as adding a live keyboard player, The Rev. Buddy System , thier performance is "one louder". VV puts on a high energy and often hilarious show. Chris and Jeff have an onstage banter similar to that of sonny and cher... only metal.
Help us get on the road.
