Kludge was a Los Angeles-based online music magazine devoted to long-form music journalism, album reviews, music news and interviews. It included a media section and a discussion forum. Founded in 2000 by editor-in-chief Arturo Perez, the magazine developed a reputation for its extensive coverage of underground and independent music.[1]
Kludge had a combined staff of over twenty writers, editors, graphic designers, and photographers. It included writers from various backgrounds, ranging from academics and professional journalists to first time writers.[2] After its establishment, the site rapidly expanded to include live reviews, interviews, streams of albums, and year-end features. Kludge had frequently partnered with Virgin Megastores for presenting new works and promoting new artists.[3]
