WE ARE THE KILLER APPS

 

The Killer Apps are Iowa City’s best all-mobile-phone cover band, featuring RoboProfessor and Dr. G. All sounds are performed on or generated by a variety of mobile phones: first, second, and third generation iPhones, old school Kyocera 6035 and Treo 700p Smartphones, and the even-older-school 1994 BellSouth Simon Personal Communicator.
