The Iron Maidens Tribute Band History And Discography

By Brian Meyer


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.

Currently, the includes two lead guitarists, a drummer, a bassist and a vocalist. The band went through several line-up changes between 2001 and 2003. While this is the case, there group has seen musicians and come and go since the time the band was founded in 2001.

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 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.

In 2010, the group released a DVD, Metal Gathering Live In Japan 2010. After which, Nikki Stringfield became a regular band member and was officially recognized as the band's guitarist. While the DVD was a big hit in Japan, the DVD was not as successful in the United States and 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.

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.

For more about this heavy metal tribute band, fans can check out a number of videos on YouTube and other video sites. Whereas, the main Facebook page has a number of photos and videos along with a discussion forum and tour dates. Whether viewing a video or seeing the band live, original Iron Maiden fans will no doubt enjoy the memories and music which are reborn through tribute bands.
