Heavy Metal is alive and well in America and beyond. Whether having a fondness for Iron Maiden or other bands of the 80s, many now have bands playing music of these hard core rockers all over the world. In the case of Iron Maiden, the Iron Maidens, an all female tribute rock band out of Los Angeles is rocking the socks off fans all over the map.
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.
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 group released a second album titled Route 66. While still identifying as an all female group, it is interesting to note that Phil Campbell, guitarist for Motorhead made a special appearance on this album. As a result, sales of this second album were a bit better than the first though still not as good as the group had hoped while in the recording studio. Still, this group of rockers never gave up and continued on playing shows and eventually toured Japan.
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, 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.
Regardless of changes in line-up, the group has often been loved by those in the heavy metal world. As with other tribute bands such as Blue Floyd and Lez Zeppelin, the group has a following. As such, there is no doubt the band will continue to have a fan base as long as there are albums and shows. At the same time, as the band has experienced so many line-up changes, it would most likely benefit the group to keep the current line-up in tact as long as possible.
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.
