A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE AMOEBAS...
Formed in 1993 and disbanded in 1997, The Amoebas have recently reunited and are making music again.
Founding members Aaron Gill and Christopher A. Neal are joined by Leon Samson to create songs that are big, loud, and fun.
Keep your eyes open in the near future for upcoming releases, from covers to Christmas tunes to originals!

WELCOME TO AMOEBA CENTRAL!
Not a lot of people know this, but we had a webpage back in 1997. It was a Geocities page, but we thought we were sooooooo professional for having one. Unfortunately, the domain we used to alias is no longer available, so we launched this one instead.
Anywho, it's good to be back on the interwebs with something other than a Bookface page, though we still have that, too.
Regardless, here is your source for news. We'll be honest, it won't update much. We all live miles apart and have no plans to play live in the near future.
BUT, we do have some exciting recording projects in the works, and there will be updates to this here page occasionally so check here to learn about that stuff.
Or, better yet, subscribe to our mailing list to get updates as they happen!
FULL CHARISMA BYPASS
We have competed our first album of original material in twenty-seven years.
A true labor of love, this project could not have existed back in the day-- it is unquestionably informed by the lives we have lived since we made our last record and the progress we've made as both musicians and human beings.
Plus, the technology to do this at home like we mostly did simply didn't exist in the last century.
We are joined on this project by some very special guests: first and foremost, Amoeba Emeritus Paul Meng, who was our original bassist, joins us on several songs adding harmony vocals and the occasional guitar. Alfred "Opie" Dufour adds a vocal break to a song that was inspired by a jam with him over three decades ago, and superfan Victor Zamudio adds some bass work on a tune that leans into our psychedelic side.
For the first time in our entire career, there are no reworkings of old songs. Some are built from ideas leftover from the classic era, but these are nine entirely new tracks (well, except the two we've already released as singles). And we are quite proud of what we have created; not to toot our own horns, but there are some truly epic numbers on this platter.
Released for streaming and download on September 17, 2024, It is also available for purchase on physical media, with a CD release initially and, in another first for us, a vinyl pressing!
