About Blocks Recording Club
The □□□□□□ Recording Club is a Artist-Owned Worker’s Co-operative based in Toronto. Our goal is to work together as a musical community to help each other to record and release music that we as a community generate. We believe that working together we can accomplish far more than we ever could working apart and further, that by moving closer to a co-operative economy we’re helping in whatever small way we can, to minimize the harmful effects of capital in the world.
The □□□□□□ Recording Club is run by an elected board that is chosen from the body of the co-op. The board as of this December 08 is: John Caffrey, Brian Joseph Davis, Matt Smith, Magali Meagher, and Jeremy Singer. Non-board important folk include: Bob Wiseman, who handles manufacturing and is scriptural adviser to the board. Our web-goblin is Greg Collins and Dennis Amos does mail order.
The □□□□□□ Recording Club was founded by Steven Kado and Mark McLean in 2003 as a tapes and mini-cd only label. Shortly after founding □□□□□□ Mark left for Ottawa and the tapes and mini-cds idea left with him. After that Steve ran □□□□□□ with Liisa K. Graham more or less until 2005 when the club incorporated as a worker’s co-op. After incorporation Liisa left and the co-op elected its first Board of Directors: James Anderson, Steve Kado and Matt McDonough (2005).
