Some great news straight from the MixMatchMusic<\/a> garage (aka HQ)! MobBase<\/a> is proving the market for iPhone applications that connect musicians with their fans, with more than 50 applications launched <\/a>since the service debuted<\/a> this past November.\u00a0 MobBase is the new service that makes it easy for musicians and music companies to create, launch and manage their own, custom iPhone applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pepper iPhone app<\/a> is helping us stay to connected with our fans 24\/7 and the connection has been amazing,\u201d said Bret Bollinger, a founder of Hawaii’s premier rock band.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a huge influx of new fans and have been able to reconnect with long time fans through our app’s integration with Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and many other sites since its launch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pepper fans have installed the band\u2019s MobBase iPhone app more than 25,000 times since the start of 2010, and have streamed Pepper\u2019s music more than 500,000 times through the app. The Pepper app was featured in iTunes\u2019 \u201cWhat\u2019s Hot\u201d section in mid-January.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Pepper it starts with great music.\u00a0 They are also a great example of a band using all of the tools at their disposal to connect and engage with fans online and on their mobile devices,\u201d said Charles Feinn, CEO and co-founder of MixMatchMusic, MobBase\u2019s developer. \u201cA custom iPhone app is an important part of that mix, and key to the equation that results in engaged fans buying more concert tickets, band merchandise and music.\u201d<\/p>\n

MobBase is a low cost way for musicians to share music, photos, videos, tweets, news, information about shows, merchandise and other content with fans on their mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Bands like Everclear<\/a>, RX Bandits<\/a>, Rebelution<\/a>, the Jacka<\/a>, and Jump Smokers<\/a> are finding it easy to create their own custom iPhone apps, and easy to add, manage and update content in real time through the MobBase dashboard.<\/p>\n

IODA<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s leading digital distribution companies, is promoting MobBase as its premier solution for iPhone applications.<\/p>\n
