indie music artists found on this third collection in the Amoeba
Music compilation series. Like the first two CDs, "Independent
Sounds: Amoeba Music Compilation Vol. III" also features
a diverse range of musical artists and styles from folk to rock
and hip hop and electronic and all points in between. However

acts from Los Angeles to coincide with the opening of the new
Amoeba Music store in Hollywood.
A joint production of Amoeba Music and Hip Hop Slam "Independent
Sounds: Amoeba Music Compilation Vol. III" is designed to
help get the music of these talented independent artists heard
by as many ears as possible. With liner notes that include basic
bio and contact information on each artist this budget priced,
double CD is sent out to numerous music writers and college radio
programmers to help reach this goal.
Amoeba Music "Independent Sounds" also accurately describes
Amoeba Music which is the biggest independent music store in the
USA with an unsurpassed selection of competitively priced new
& used CDs, vinyl, cassettes, videos, DVDs, lasers, posters,
etc. in every known musical genre. As with the Berkeley and San
Francisco stores the staff at the recently opened Hollywood store
are also passionate conniosseurs of all types of music. For proof
next time you're in Amoeba pick up a complimentary copy of the
booklet "Music We Like" which contains staff members'
favorite releases with reviews, charts, and top five lists.
Not surprisingly, many Amoeba staffers are musical artists themselves
including members of Six Eye Columbia, Michael Whitmore Some'tet,
Every Idle Word,The Planning Commission, Meeshee, Schoolbus Bullies,
Civilian, The Ray Makers, Tim Ranow, Thornamental, TNV featuring

In fact there are so many musicians working at Amoeba that for
the past eight years the store has hosted its own "Amoebapalooza"
concert series. Amoeba also is known for its free instore concerts
which have included memorable performances from Guided By Voices,
Old 97's, Jurassic 5, and Mix Master Mike who loves shopping at
