Modex
Modex is a two-member band - Gaby and Martín V - that was created in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in midyear 2003. It is during that same year that Modex made its first appearances at clubs in Buenos Aires: very powerful and exciting shows - with a sound combining the late 70s and early 80s new wave/postpunk/disco punk attitude with the electro dance floors that made them one of the most exciting live acts in Argentina and South America!
The use of synthesizers, Martin V sharp guitar sounds and a riot vocal style with ironic and cynical lyrics from Gaby produces a stunning display of electro/disco punk and new wave that have became their trademark, enjoying success on the gig circuits as well as on the dance floor.
Modex have become a "must see" act in Argentina, South America, Europe and a main player in the electronic & rock scene playing almost everywhere. Adding a great visual performance through exclusive designed videos by Barfuss the impact of Modex on the electronic & rock scene is reflected in the admiration of fans, and in the acknowledgement of critics and national and international artists.
In 2003/4/5/6/7 Modex performed in various national & international festivals: Codigo Pais (Bs As), Cosquin Rock (Cba) , ElectroRock (Orfeo Superdomo, Cba), Estudio Abierto (Bs.
