The group has found success throughout Latin America as well as in Spain and the United States. Miranda! has earned two nominations for the Latin Grammy Awards, one MTV Europe Music Awards, twenty MTV Video Music Awards Latinoamérica, seven Premios Gardel, one Los 40 Music Awards and multiple Gaviota awards from the Viña del Mar International Song Festival. History 2000–2003: Early years Before Miranda!, the musicians Gori Leva, Alejandro Sergi and Juliana Gattas formed a trio called Los 3 Lirios, where Leva and Sergi were programmers and Gattas the singer, reversing jazz songs in an electronic style. For their presentations, which were held at Cemento, Sergi wrote the first song called "Imán", and received positive reviews, including from guitarist Leandro Fuentes. Months later, they formed the band. In 2001, Sergi teamed up with Gattas, Fuentes and Bruno de Vincenti to form Miranda!, labeling their style as melodramatic electropop. Named after Argentinian actor Osvaldo Miranda, the group finally met the actor in December 2002 during the Buen Dia Arriba Festival in Palermo. Their popularity grew around the Buenos Aires underground music circuit, based on their peculiar music, style and looks. Their unique live performances, in which the band members "acted out" the lyrics of their songs, gained them a great number of followers, as well as a number of prizes in such publications as the Argentine version of the Rolling Stone magazine, which named them the Revelation Band of 2002. In November of the same year they released Es Mentira, their first album which would spawn five singles: "Bailarina," "Imán," "Tu Juego," "Agua" and "Romix." It was published by the independent label Secsy Discos, with the collaboration of the Locomotion television channel, where the music videos of the singles were published. Their presentations were described as "glamorous and melodramatic", and ranked them as "the most outstanding group of the Buenos Aires indie-electronic scene", receiving the nickname "the monster of the under". In May 2003, Nicolás Grimaldi ("Monoto") joined the group as bassist. That year, Miranda! achieved their first nominations
