Moderatto was a rock ensemble hailing from Mexico City, Mexico, distinguished by their theatrical stage characters that satirized the 1980s glam metal culture. Initially formed as a cover group in the late 1990s, they launched their first album, Resurrexión, in 2001. The band enjoyed significant commercial acclaim, with platinum awards granted to three out of their initial five records.
Career
Established during the late 1990s, Moderatto began their musical journey in Mexico City in 2001 with members Jay de la Cueva, Javier Ramírez, Marcelo Lara, Iñaki Vazquez, and Olallo Rubio. Their breakthrough album Resurrexión featured popular tracks such as "Márchate Ya" and "Isabel," which helped solidify their presence in the music scene. In November 2004, they introduced El Detector de Metal, which included a notable duet with pop artist Belinda on the track "Muriendo Lento".
By late 2006, the band released ¡Grrrr!, whose leading single "Sentimettal" climbed to number three on Mexico’s Top 40 charts within three weeks of release.
Expanding their reach beyond Mexico and Latin America, Moderatto performed internationally at venues including Yokohama’s Red Brick Warehouse and The Trump Room in Tokyo during July 2010.
