This is one of the more talented, and infectious bands we’ve found in recent years. Safe to say we’re big fans, yeah. Check out Modern Mimes’ ‘Until We Get It Right’. - Dom Smith
“This is great-this band Modern Mimes approached this cover just as type o would have: changed the tempo and feel of it and made it their own. Tones and mix are great as well. It sounds as if Type O did a cover of Type O. Amazing job. I love this. Its better than our version.” - Kenny Hickey

Modern Mimes is an American music artist duo from Fort Lauderdale, FL. The duo consists of Adi Elcida Hernandez on vocals/guitar/sampling and Ernesto Paez on the double neck guitar bass. Their music can be best described as "Future Goth," a term they coined in order to explain the fusion of alternative heavy guitar riffs, powerfully haunting vocals, subconscious provoking lyrics, electronic drums, and catchy pop melodies.
After almost 3 years of quietly creating and crafting their sound, Modern Mimes released their debut album "Wake Up" in early 2017. Their single "Love Hate," premiered on Blank TV and their video, directed by Carla Forte, was selected at various film festivals. They followed up their debut album with a cover of Type O Negative's "I don't Wanna Be Me." The Goth Metal Legends not only approved of the cover but quickly promoted the single and video before it's release. " I Don't Wanna Be Me" has resulted in a successful 29k+ views on Youtube and was featured on Loudwire.com amongst other media outlets.
The duo has performed 2 years in a row at 104.3 The Shark's Riptide Music Festival, the biggest two day Alternative and Classic Hits music festival in Fort Lauderdale. They've played alongside national bands such as Weezer, Cage the Elephant, Awolnation, Silversun Pickups, Pvris, Marbin, and more. They have toured the Southeastern United States, performed during SXSW, and have a session on Balcony TV.
Modern Mimes is a perfectly chaotic reflection of the inner workings of Adi & Ernesto who create music in hopes of inspiring listeners to journey through their subconscious and look within. Their first single "Stare" off of the sophomore album "The Gray" premiered on Pure Grain Audio. "The Gray" was produced by Rick Lander (Flaw & Dead Horse Trauma) and Anthony Santonocito ( John Hampson(Nine Days) & Brianna Taylor) and was released on October 10th 2019. Tour dates are in the works for the duo who will be on the road this Spring and Summer 2019.
