Heavy metal meets girl power in tribute act

WITH most of its members pushing 60, English heavy metal legends Iron Maiden don't hit the road as often as they did in the eighties and nineties.

Thank goodness then for The Iron Maidens, the world's only all-female Iron Maiden tribute act.

Formed in 2001, the Californian five-piece has been touring the world continuously, ensuring headbangers everywhere have something to shake their manes to during the real McCoy's downtime when they are off the road or in the recording studio.
