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 line-up has had several rounds of changes over the years, the current line up exist of a vocalist, a bassist, a drummer and two lead guitarists. Originally founded in 2001, most of these changes occurred between 2001 and 2003. While this is the case, there has been ongoing changes since the inception of the band to present.
The band started working on a debut album which was finally released in 2005 with Aja Kim replacing Warren on vocals. Once the album was released, there were other changes made to the lineup. While this is the case, the title of the first album remained, The Only All Female Iron Maiden Tribute Band.
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.
After another round of changes in 2008, the band went to Japan and filmed a DVD called Metal Gathering Live in Japan 2010. After the success of the DVD, longtime guest guitarist Nikki Stringfield was added as a regular member to the band. While the DVD had a great deal of success among Japanese artists, sales could have been better in other areas.
The question still remains as to whether the group will tour domestically or internationally again in the future. While this is the case, the group does have a few shows scheduled in the United States beginning in February. Whereas, Rosenberg and Stringfield recently appeared on the music game show Beat Shazam in August of 2017.
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.
The Facebook page related to the hosts a number of photos and video clips. Whereas, there is a great deal of history along with tour dates and discussion forum. For those seeking more music by the group, there are also a number of videos on YouTube and other video sharing websites. Whether browsing through Facebook, watching a video or attending a live show, there is no doubt fans will appreciate these rockers bringing the music of Iron Maiden and other rockers back to life.
