When it comes to heavy metal, there are a lot of well known classics as well as a few newcomers. In addition, as with rock and roll there are a lot of cover and tribute bands. When it comes to the Iron Maidens from Los Angeles, California, the group is an all female tribute band to the original rockers known as Iron Maiden.
While the band has gone through a number of different musicians, the current line-up is said to be an amazing set of artists. With two lead guitarists, a bassist, a vocalist and a drummer, it is a cast of women musicians whom have gained a lot of love and respect in the heavy metal community. As such, even with the changes in players over the years, the group has continued to move on toward a vibrant and successful career.
In 2003 the group started working on a self titled album called The Only All Female Iron Maiden Tribute Band. While getting off to a good start, due to changes in line-up and personal issues, the album did not reach completion and release until 2005 with Aja Kim replacing Jenny Warren on vocals.
In 2007, the band released another album titled Route 66. One of the most interesting things about the release is that there is a guest appearance by guitarist Phil Campbell of Motorhead. As such, the sales were somewhat better than the previous album but still not as good as the band had hoped.
In the summer of 2008, the band went through more changes resulting in the current line up. In 2010, the group released a DVD of the Japan tour called Metal Gathering Live in Japan 2010. After which, in 2015 long-time guest guitarist Nikki Stringfield became an official member of the band. As with previous album releases, DVDs were a big hit among fans and especially with those living in Japan. While this is the case, the DVD did not sell as well in other areas.
Most recently, Stringfield and Rosenberg were contestants on the music game show Beat Shazam in August of 2017. Whereas, the three albums and video remain quite popular on the metal circuit. While there are a few shows scheduled in February 2018, it is not clear as to whether or not there will be a domestic or world tour anytime soon.
Even through all the line-up changes, the band has remained a strong presence in the Heavy Metal community. Along with other tribute acts such as Lez Zeppelin and those related to Pink Floyd, there is no doubt the group will continue to have a strong following now and in the future. While this is the case, as the band has often seen line-up changes after each album and most recently, the Japan tour. As such, it would be beneficial if the current line-up were to remain in tact for the long haul.
For more information on this all female tribute band, fans can check out videos on YouTube and similar sites. Whereas, there are also photos, a few videos and a great deal of information including show dates, times and locations on the Facebook page dedicated to the band. Whether watching a video, communicating with other fans or attending a live show, fans will no doubt enjoy the nostalgia associated with these bands playing tribute to some of the biggest names in music.
