Steam Republic, the Finnish mobile tech firm, has today announced the commercial release of Mobile Backstage, its new social music application that enables record labels and musicians to build vibrant communities around their fans’ smartphones.

It’s been developed by Steam Republic, a Finnish mobile solutions company, which says it recently raised a second round of funding in the region of €2 million of its target of €3 -5 million.

Supported by PIAS and endorsed by labels such as Liberation, Infectious Records and Glassnote Records, the Australian alternative rock band The Temper Trap released today their brand new Fan App.

After an exciting three years of behind-the-scenes development of our backend-server technology and 6 months of beta piloting with several international artists of EMI, Atlantic Records and PIAS, the commercial release of Mobile Backstage approaches its long-awaited disembarkation this June.

Steam Republic is initiating a large-scale financing round to fund our fast growth in the international markets. Our financing round is scheduled to end in fall 2010 and we are primarily choosing suitable investors from up to € 5 Million investments.
