Summary

SkaFlash is a band management app that connects bands with their fans through Twilio SMS, aiming to improve the way bands reach out to their audience individually. The app was created by Geoffrey Simpson and Casey McPherson, who are also developers and musicians, as they wanted to address the limitations of current methods for fan engagement. SkaFlash uses a Microsoft stack, including Asp.Net MVC and jQuery, and is powered by Twilio's SMS service. The app has already shown promise in its early tests, with over 50% of attendees texting their email to connect with the band during an acoustic set. The founders are excited to showcase SkaFlash at SXSW and plan to release it to tastemakers in the industry first, allowing them to refine the product based on feedback and market response.
