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.
While the band started working on an initial album in 2003, it was not released until 2005. At that time, Aja Kim had replaced founding member Jenny Warren on vocals. As the band continued as a woman only group, the title Only All Female Iron Maiden Tribute Band was still a fitting one. Whereas, more changes were made to the line-up following the release though the group still retained its women only status.
As well known guitarist Phil Campbell of Motorhead sat in on the 2nd album, sells were somewhat better than the first. At the same time, numbers and profits were to as good as the band had originally hoped. Still, the group moved forward and continued playing in the United States and abroad.
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.
Most recently, two band members, Rosenberg and Stringfield appeared on Beat Shazam in 2017. During this time, the two albums and DVD remained popular among fans. As such, the band has agreed to once again play live shows beginning in February 2018. While this is the case, the question remains as to whether the group will tour internationally or domestically in the future.
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.
