Moderatto is a Mexican rock band from Mexico city, known for their exaggerated on-stage personae that parody the stereotypical 1980s glam metal lifestyle. Moderatto started as a cover band in the late 1990s.
Career
Moderatto began playing in 2001 in Mexico City, then consisting of five friends:[1] Jay de la Cueva, Javier Ramírez, Marcelo Lara, Iñaki Vazquez and Olallo Rubio.[2] They launched their mainstream debut CD Resurrexión in 2001. This album quickly gained popularity thanks to their first single "Márchate Ya" and later "Isabel".[2] In November 2004 they launched El Detector de Metal, whose first single, a cover of Timbiriche's "Muriendo Lento", featured female pop singer Belinda as a collaboration with her.[2][1] Three of their first five albums were certified platinum.[1]
The group released ¡Grrrr! at the end of 2006 with its first single, "Sentimettal", which climbed to No. 3 on the Mexican Top 40 in three weeks.[2]
In addition to Mexico and Latin America, they also performed at Yokohama's Red Brick Warehouse on July 24, 2010 and The Trump Room in Shibuya, Tokyo the following day.[1]
