That's like saying that you never heard of Smokey Robinson until that ABC song.

I think this album's been in the works for awhile, gygax, i.e.:
i'm not usually into tributes, but word is John Zorn and some of his old Naked City guys are getting together for a Denny Vertigo(!!) tribute!! I heard a couple of other names being tossed about, i'm not gonna mention 'em except to say 'fuck i hope not!'-- cutty (holle...), March 11th, 2004 6:29 PM.

Homosexuality was at once ghettoized and accepted in the hyper-masculine world of underground rock from the late-'60s onward. One of the most discussed gay rumors in underground rock involved the alleged relationship between Denny Vertigo and Denny Lethargy. Rumors (that ended up being true) about Lethargy's proclivity for sexual experimentation had been whispered for years, but the bizarre inclusion of the other Denny has never been fully explained.
Vertigo's old drummer Martin Cass offered a story that might explain the origins of the rumor in an interview with Q Magazine in 1994: "There was a manager who made overtures towards Denny Lethargy during a party at a club in 1971. Denny was apparently extremely drunk and, being a homophobe, lashed out at the man physically. From what I gather, this manager thought he was trying to slide his hand up Denny Vertigo's leg! As a bit of revenge for getting his nose broken, this man spread a rumor about the two Dennies. We all thought it was rather amusing!"
One person who did not find the story amusing was Lethargy, who was at the time attempting to make a comeback after several failed albums in a row. Fortunately in the end, the story didn't affect his career. However, the stress of the albums' failures and persistent rumors led Lethargy to turn to cocaine and, soon thereafter, heroin.

But that's beside the point. "Urpunk" or whatever, is not exactly my cup of tea. I don't even like the New York Dolls! (but they're still better than lethargy & vertigo.)
I'd be curios to know what records these guys are on, MSP! I hear a lot of contemporary country when I visit my family, cuz my sister and cousins listen to that stuff a lot. That or chart hip hop.

though they're never really recognized for it, they really could bring the FUNK.
in fact, vertigo and lethargy in late 80's belgian hip-hop were like liquid liquid and kraftwerk to early 80's NYC hip-hop/electro.

"Seminal krautrock blues riffs from the mysterious master himself, Denny Vertigo! Call us crazy, but we detect some Afropop influence as well! OUTTASITE!"
Still worth picking up though, only $135.
