The band listing for this event should be adjusted to place British Lion AFTER The Iron Maidens.
The Iron Maidens are awesome…First time I saw them, I went in with an attitude like “How good can this band really be? Who do these chicks think they are, trying to play tribute to the mighty Maiden? Okay, you better impress me!” Well, they did impress me! Well done, ladies!
