The Iron Maidens

The title might catch some attention. No, this is not about the REAL Iron Maiden. No, this is about a really cool band. This band is the world's only all-female tribute to Iron Maiden. I had seen them just this past Saturday with my sister at a local event venue here in Cincinnati called Bogart's. It's in the neighborhood of Clifton, which is dominated by two of Cincinnati's biggest universities-University of Cincinnati and Xavier University. This venue is a good go-to place for locals. Me and my sister had seen The Iron Maidens and they blew me away. When their singer Kirsten Rosenberg hit those high notes, I had chills. I was blown away!! Now it's going to be interesting to see the REAL Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson still trying to hit those high notes on songs like "Run to the Hills", "Aces High", etc.

Anyway, the band is five women from LA who have a wide variety of talent in a wide variety of music, ranging from rock to orchestral to blues to metal and more. They each took the name of a member of Iron Maiden and switched it to a female version

History
-The band formed in 2001
-The band is rapidly becoming popular worldwide as well as in the US
-In addition to being the world's only all female tribute to Iron Maiden, they are perfect examples of beauty and talent. They are able to take the high energy, theatricality and excellent stage shows of Iron Maiden and adapt them to an all female band
-The cool thing about this band is that they do not cover just one era of the band-they cover all the songs, both fan favorites and classics. They cover all the songs from the beginning of Maiden's career all the way up to modern day. So it's a good guarantee that you're probably going to hear your favorites from the Bruce Dickinson eras, Blaze Bayley era and Paul Di'Anno era.
