Powerslave is the Phoenix, Arizona Premiere Tribute to the giants that are Iron Maiden. The band was formed in January 2005 by Michael Johnson and Tom Carr. Both had a vision of creating a top tribute act which would give an energetic stage performance and clearly display their musical abilities. Michael Johnson had just relocated from Los Angeles where he played with the band Hangar 18, a very successful tribute to Megadeth for over 3 years. He played countless gigs including opening for Danzig in Las Vegas and headlining the Borderland Metalfest in El Paso, TX. Tom Carr also had just moved from Southern California where he played in multiple local bands and did stand up comedy on the side well, not really, but he should. Tom is a musicians drummer with rock solid timing and a love for the Maiden sound. Kevin Sage (Guitar) from Phoenix became the fourth member of the band tackling the Dave Murray bits (Michael is handling the Adrian Smith guitar parts). Kevin has been in a few local rock bands here in Phoenix and the Metal band Rue Morgue from NY in the early 90s. Kyran
"Screamin' Demon" (VOCALS) has played in several local bands
including Supernova, Throttle, Mad Hatter and LEVEL. He brings to the
band wide range vocal ability and a high energy stage presence. He is
a major fan of Iron Maiden and is very excited to have the opportunity
of playing in this tribute. "UP THE IRONS!!!!!" All
members are seasoned players with years of experience recording, writing,
playing live and with the common goal of wanting to share the best of
Iron Maiden's music with the fans. Powerslave covers a variety or Iron
Maiden's material from the first album up to the Brave New World release
with new songs being added regularly.
