Partygoers find this explosive, high-energy cover-band irresistible when they start playing favorites from the 1980’s and more. RetroVertigo taps into its member's history of quality musicianship and showmanship to bring the most colorful music from the 80’s back to life.

What makes RetroVertigo stand above other local bands?

They’ve taken their stage show to a whole new level.

In addition to being some of the best musicians around, they entertain crowds with:

* Professional break dancing: Watch their bassist, “Rippin’ Richie” bust some serious moves on stage – 80’s style.

* Large screen video: Watch your favorite images from the 80’s as the band plays. Even intermission is fun when they show cult classic music videos from the 80’s.

* Sounding like the real thing! Some bands take short cuts with their sound, but RetroVertigo plays it like you remember it!
