Jenny Warren first had an Iron Maiden tribute band called Wrathchild. The idea came when she discovered the website of a Chicago-based tribute band called Revelations. Wrathchild started with Warren (using the stage name "Bruce Chickinson") as the only female member, but when bassist Melanie Sisneros (formerly of Raven Mad and New Eden) joined in 2000,[1] Warren decided to give the band a new direction within the next year.[2]
On June 2001, Warren and Sisneros were joined by guitarist Sara Marsh (formerly of Bandit), drummer Linda McDonald and guitarist Josephine Draven (both formerly of Phantom Blue) to form The Iron Maidens ("World's Only Female Tribute to Iron Maiden"). The band found some success while touring across the U.S.
In 2003, the Maidens started work on their first album, but production was halted when Warren left the band. The need to raise an autistic child contributed to her departure, which the band did not make official until early 2004.[3] Later that year, rock/R&B singer/songwriter Aja Kim was announced as Warren's successor by the Maidens.
Shortly after leaving the Maidens, Warren regrouped Wrathchild with Sisneros (who left the Maidens in late 2002) for a one-off performance at MetalJam, a fund-raising event to promote autism awareness.[4] She also played bass for the all-female AC/DC tribute band Whole Lotta Rosies for a short period of time.
Warren is married to Bill Warren, formerly of the Metallica tribute band Creeping Death. They have two children in their family.
