We know Amoeba Music is moving. But no one knows exactly where or when.
Amoeba Music store on Sunset Boulevard. On Tuesday, the City Council eliminated the final hurdles facing the redevelopment of the site.
On Tuesday morning, Henderson seemed unconcerned with the City Council’s vote. Amoeba's move is a foregone conclusion, he said. The store has a lease that will carry it in its current location “for about another year,” he said, with a few brief extension opportunities. So where will the store land? Last year, Amoeba Music’s co-owner, Marc Weinstein, told Variety that the store would move “within blocks” of the current development, and that details would come “in a few weeks.” That was a year ago, and the store has remained mum ever since. Henderson declined to comment on the search for a new location.
Although the vinyl revival and the annual Record Store Day celebration have put a spotlight on independent retailers and the advantages of physical music, the format’s return over the last decade doesn’t make up for the decline in compact disc sales. Amoeba’s Sunset location is more than a place to buy records, though. Since its opening in Los Angeles — Amoeba also operates two stores in the San Francisco area — the shop has become a cross-cultural gathering place. Its in-store appearances — most notably by Paul McCartney — and signings draw customers from around the world, and its turntables have been worked by a fantastic mix of in-store DJs.
