Next Thursday’s performance will mark the first in-store concert at the new Amoeba Music location at 6200 Hollywood Blvd. The expanded site of the original Amoeba Hollywood—formerly situated at 6400 Sunset Blvd—opened on April 1st, 2021, following nearly seven months of COVID-induced delays. After California lifted its mask requirement for vaccinated individuals last month, Amoeba Music Hollywood will once again resume hosting intimate in-store concerts from music’s biggest names. Past in-store performances have included Paul McCartney, Bob Weir, Anderson .Paak, Elliot Smith, and more over the past 20 years.
Out on Friday, Unlimited Love marks Red Hot Chili Peppers’ reunion with guitarist John Frusciante. The band’s first album since 2016’s The Getaway will also be its first with Frusciante since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium. The new 17-track offering also hears RHCP work beside longtime producer Rick Rubin, who produced all of the band’s albums from 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik through 2011’s I’m with You, but was replaced by Danger Mouse on The Getaway.
