STAIND's Dysfunction Fanclub To Debut With Special In-Store Membership

August 6, 2005

To coincide with the August 9 release of their "Chapter V" CD (Flip/Atlantic),STAIND have created the "Dysfunctional Fanclub."

Debuting at Best Buy stores across the country and online on the day of the CD's release, the limited-edition in-store package will include a "Dysfunctional Fanclub" t-shirt design, one that's different from the t-shirt available with the online package.

For only $25.00 (plus shipping and handling for online memberships) or $24.99 at Best Buy, STAIND fans get: access to pre-sale tickets*; a welcome letter from the band; an @Staind.com webmail address; the opportunity for meet & greets with the band**; exclusive online content (news, STAIND's road journal, audio, video and photos, private message boards and blogs); chances to win contests and prizes and much more.

Of the new fan package, STAIND guitarist Mike Mushok says, "We wanted to create the perfect fan club pack to show our appreciation for all of our dysfunctional fans...enjoy!"

"This is an exciting package for all of STAIND's fans," says Lon Lindeland, Merchandising Leader, Music for Best Buy. "The band has created something very special with great value."

Naveen Jain, CEO of Sparkart, LLC adds, "We are excited to work with STAIND and Best Buy to put together this innovative package for the Dysfunctional Fanclub. It's a great value for STAIND fans as this package offers an unprecedented combination of merchandise, Sparkart technology and a unique Best Buy retail experience that gives STAIND fans the ultimate reward: a closer connection with the band."

"Chapter V" marks the first time STAIND — presently on a cross country tour with 3 DOORS DOWN — have worked with producer David Bottrill. The album's first single, "Right Here", is a Top Ten on both the Alternative (#8) and Active Rock (#6) charts.
