At Amoeba, we’ve always seen ourselves as part of a larger community of people for whom music isn’t so much a pastime as a passion. It’s a shared experience that connects our amazing staff of musicians and music lovers with similarly obsessed folks on the hunt for everything from Top 40 hits to Ethiopian funk, rare 78s, vintage concert posters, or just a low-key in-store jam by a local band. That experience is inspired by the great indie stores we all hung out in when we were growing up, where music genuinely mattered and made us who we are. Simply turning people on to great music has made Amoeba what it is today, from our roots in Berkeley to our newest store in Hollywood. And while we were perfectly happy just selling records, once again our passion has taken us where we never thought we’d find ourselves — on the other side of the record business with a label of our own.
