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 referred to as "Brooklyn Vegan" and/or "BV"), we've (I've) expanded to include regular and semi-regular contributors.

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.

BBG (previously known as Black Bubblegum) - "The Week in Metal" used to be his primary focus, but now you'll find his name on numerous other mostly-metal-related music news and reviews as well. He also contributes as a staff writer to general news and other types of posts when not throwing metal shows on a weekly basis in NYC and elsewhere. Contact BBG (Fred Pessaro) at bbg @ brooklynegan dot com

Bill Pearis - Bill fills in the "indie" blanks in his weekly column about Indie Rock. He can also be found at his own blog called Sound Bites.

Dominic (Nick) Masi Jr. - 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 many live 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.
