History
Amoeba Music opened our first Hollywood location in November 2001 on Sunset Blvd. We announced our new location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd in February 2020, just before the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown. Our reopening was delayed until April 2021, but reopen we did, and we brought that familiar Amoeba energy with us! Located in the El Centro complex at Hollywood and Argyle, our new spot is a highly visible and easily accessible destination. We validate parking (75 minutes with purchase) in the El Centro parking structure and we're very convenient to public transportation. The building may be new, but Amoeba's personality shines through with visual flourishes like a color vinyl installation at the front door, the original Shepard Fairey mural created for the stage and more. The massive floor space is highlighted by rainbow-colored columns guiding you to the huge vinyl, CD and DVD/Blu-ray sections; books and posters; a large, curated t-shirt section; turntables; collectibles & more.
