Moderatto

Formed as a jab at the glam rock of a bygone era, Moderatto was meant to be a place to put on some eye liner, stick your tongue out, and blow off some steam. The project would, however, become a Mexican rock phenomenon. With glamour and drama reminiscent of groups like Poison and Mötley Crüe, Moderatto earned a strong tongue-in-cheek fan base on the club scene in Mexico City. Mixing original material with '80s classics such as Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and the Knack's "My Sharona," Moderatto earned a reputation for wild, theatrical performances. Their 2006 single "Sentimental" reached number three on the Mexican pop charts in a matter of weeks. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
