New partnership to benefit vroom members

VROOM, The CAN and Chaos.com have partnered to offer all VROOM members 10% Off CAN memberships and 10% off storewide at chaos.com, Australia's independent voice in online entertainment retail. To find out how to access these offers head on over to http://chaos.com/promos/vroom .

About The CAN

Think of it as Australia's alternative to CD BABY. The CAN distributes its member catalogue to all major digital retailers globally (iTunes etc) and traditional retailers throughout Australia (JB Hi Fi, Sanity, Big W, Leading Edge etc).

The CAN service provides online retail, distribution and marketing for independent artists. The CAN supports local artists with a single point of access into a world wide distribution network of real selling opportunities - all without giving up your independence. The CAN is a non-exclusive distribution option. By selling through the CAN you are not limiting your opportunities to promote and sell your work elsewhere.

As a CAN member you will have your works listed for sale as downloads in all major digital retailers worldwide. Your CD or DVD will also be available at traditional retail across Australia (and don't forget that ~90% of entertainment retail is still through hard copy traditional stores). Through our distribution partners your CD or DVD will also be available for export to international markets. As a CAN member you can have confidence that if a fan of your music walks into a local store or clicks through to a major digital retailer, your work will be listed and available for purchase.

About Chaos.com

Established in 1995 Chaos.com was one of the first independent online retailers in the world and is still one of the best. Our blueprint reaches out through all possible channels to find and connect the construction and consumption of creative work – the networks that connect people everywhere.

In a digital world, giant rivers suck in almost everything, but internet dynamics ensure that the small streams and tributaries are creating the gold. Be independent and Order through Chaos!
