The team who brought you the official Pink Floyd App, and Apps from Led Zeppelin, Classic Rock and iWitness, have announced details of a new Rolling Stones App - 'This Day in The Rolling Stones'.
Undoubtedly one of most influential acts ever, the history of The Rolling Stones brings you everything that is rock & roll. In 1964 The Melody Maker asked: Would You Let Your Sister Go With A Rolling Stone? Their early tours saw screaming fans ripping their idols’ clothes off, riots, arrests, and run ins with Hells Angels.
Their songs have always maintained a grip on the zeitgeist, and their live shows are second to none.
The App is packed full of Stones history:
• Entries For Every Day - 366 days of the year: Info on all the gigs, tours, TV appearances, recording dates, events, chart positions, album releases and more!
• In Depth Song Notes - for 15 Classic Stones albums, from the band’s debut in 1964, to the classic 'Beggars Banquet', 'Sticky Fingers', 'Exile On Main Street', 'Some Girls', and more - right through to the current hits release 'GRRR!'
