About Us


BrooklynVegan is a NYC-centric mostly-music blog that focuses on reporting international music news, live show reviews, pictures, tour dates, gossip, tips, MP3's, videos, and just about anything else a music fan could want. Non-music news finds it's way on to our pages as well, and every post comes with an open exchange of ideas via the public commenting system.

Though still primarily run by one person (often reffered to as "Brooklyn Vegan" and/or "BV"), we've (I've) recently expanded to include regular and semi-regular contributers. Contributors include:
  • "Brooklyn Vegan" - runs this site, never meant for that to become an actual nickname. e-mail is the best way to reach him.
  • Showtrotta - "Showtrotta" writes the weekly "week in dance" content - posts that focus on electro happenings in and around NYC as well as related artist profiles and downloads. You can also find Showtrotta at her own blog.
  • Black Bubblegum - "The Week in Metal" is his primary focus, but you'll find his name on numerous other mostly-metal-related music news and reviews as well. Contact BB at akablackbubblegum AT gmail
  • Bill Pearis - the latest feature writer to join BrooklynVegan, Bill fills in the "indie" blanks in his new weekly column about Indie Rock. He can also be found at his own blog called Sound Bites.
  • Largehearted Boy - Largehearted Boy writes "Largehearted Boy's Interesting CD Releases This Week". This is a feature that started, and can also still be found, on Largehearted Boy's own world-renowned music blog.
  • Nick Masi - my co-host on BrooklynVegan "blog radio" on Sirius, Nick is also an occasional contributor to the website.
Stay tuned for a more complete list of contributors.

BrooklynVegan also sponsors and produces events, and can be heard on Sirius satellite radio station 'Left of Center' every Wednesday @ 12pm EST (noon), and again @ midnight (EST).

The best way to contact us is via e-mail.
