I rarely to never provide coverage for tribute bands. I’m all about new, original, and different.
Only one other tribute band has ever caught the attention of my ears and heart and that is the
band Metalachi: The World's First and Only Heavy Metal Mariachi Band. You can check it out that
coverage here: http://online.flipbuilder.com/dxlv/fafs/mobile/index.html#p=76

However, I am now pleased to present to the readers of

ION Indie Magazine…The Iron Maidens, the all-female
tribute band to Iron Maiden.

I caught The Iron Maidens a few years back at the same
casino (but different venue) and did a personal live
performance shoot of them. I enjoyed their stage show
(although much smaller stage) and the music was as tight
as the real Iron Maiden. Vocals were awesome, guitar
duos were insane, and the bass, rumbly in the tumbly.
Tonight was no different.

Formed in 2001, The Iron Maidens have quickly
established themselves as one of southern
California’s most popular tribute acts and are
rapidly gaining international recognition. The
band boasts beauty as well as excellent
musicianship, lively stage presence, and a
remarkable stage show with theatrical scenes
interspersed throughout.
