Coming soon? The Iron Maidens

Sometimes it feels like the Knitting Factory books as many tribute bands as real bands. Bearing this in mind, how long before The Iron Maidens make a stop in Boise? (They’ve already been booked July 17 at the Knitting Factory in Reno, Nev.)

I can definitely envision Treasure Valley heshers getting fired up for this. The Bruce Chickinson even cuts her bangs. And who could have imagined Adrian Smith looking so good in cut-offs? I mean Adriana Smith.

From the looks of where the Maidens are performing in the video below, I’m thinking someone should book this band at the Dutch Goose. Awesome. (Or how about Alive After Five?) What is not awesome is the fact that (to my knowledge) the real Iron Maiden has never played Idaho.
