A f$@ken' real job... never thought!

Anyway, we're specializing in hardcopy Indie & Imports etc... (CD, Vinyl, DVD only - no mp3 download site)

Anyone got suggestions to put me in touch with cool & honest distributers with catalogues of great music I might not have heard about or have on my books currently?

Only realistic & established labels, distributers please.

Just post ya ideas & links I 'spose?

Much appreciated!

What kind of indie- indie-rock, or independent music in a broader sense?
Oh, and are you going to stay brick-and-mortar, or are you thinking about a webshop, too?

I know quite a number of lables from around these parts, but they're small(ish) and release mainly electronic music.

If you don't have this stocked, you're just too square to live..

Yeah, thanks for that Sickle - be sure sure 'n say hi to the grandkids for me!

Tetraplan - whatever indie but not too obscure.
We're not a big store so we can't afford to stock stuff that people won't get.
Shit I sound like a suit... crucifix & garlic anyone!

Bricks 'n Mortar only right now, but we're looking into the web thing.

Cheers.

I think Cargo Distribution's Australian branch is still operating... not too far from NZ so you'd save postage.
US-wise I'd recommend Forced Exposure, and Cargo in the UK for general indie stuff of all varieties.

SpaceforMusic.com

generally an ambient/space music label but with some twists

contact: Tony Gerber

Tell him Shane Sanders made the referral as I'm one of the artists on the label. I'm sure he's got back stock that he'd probably either consign or sell to you.

The subject heading sounds like the beginning of a country song.

Subterranean is pretty cool:

They have all sorts of odd/obscure releases, imports, etc.

Revolver's been around for quite a while. They used to have ads in MRR all the time when I was a young 'un:
