[edit] Biography
They began playing in the mid nineties in Mexico City, as a parody of the glamorous style of many 80's bands like Poison and Mötley Crüe; it began as a side project to the members' original bands, but they eventually became very popular among members of the Mexican alternative scene. With the coming to the mainstream of many underground interests, they became popular with the higher classes.
They launched their mainstream debut CD, "Resurrexión" in 2001. This album re-awakened the Mexican feeling for wanna be Pop Rock, and quickly gained popularity with their first single "Marchate Ya" and the later "Isabel". In November 2004 they launched "El Detector de Metal", whose first single "Muriendo Lento" featuring female pop singer Belinda, was a huge hit that gave Moderatto popularity among the upper classes. Since the launch of the "Detector de Metal", the band has been giving huge concerts that have been completely Sold Out in Mexico's most important arenas, like the Auditorio Nacional and Teatro Metropolitan. They have just launched their latest single "Quemandome de Amor", which has been widely accepted among the fans. Moderatto emulates the big 80's bands like Mötley Crüe and Poison with their style and clothing. The band is formed by common musicians and started as an alternative band for many of them.
Moderatto is scheduled to release a new album by end of this year titled "Grrrr". The first single off of Grrrr! is Sentimettal, which in 3 weeks has climbed all the way to #3 in the Mexican Top 40.
