Paul Tollett, one of the co-founders of Coachella, will open a record store in the Los Angeles suburb of Atwater.

The store has been christened Record Safari Los Angeles. Tollett has taken a 10-year lease on the property.

The building at 3222 Los Feliz Blvd was formerly the Sonora Recorders recording studio. Ben Harper, Rufus Wainwright, Keb Mo, Joe Henry, Emmylou Harris, Manhattan Transfer have recorded at the studio.

Record Safari will host in-stores with artists, min-concerts on the outside and have a few food trucks to feed you as well.
