Last month, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson released The Mandrake Project, his first solo album in 19 years. Over the weekend, he played two nights at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles, which were announced at the last minute. Dickinson performed under the pseudonym The House Band Of Hell. It was the first solo concert that he’s done in 22 years.
Per a press release, Dickinson sold tickets to the shows from the Whisky A Go Go box office himself. And his setlists included some live debuts, rarities, and a cover of the Edgar Winter Group’s “Frankenstein” — Dickinson played theremin on that one.
