Red Heart the Ticker

We are honored to welcome Vermont indie-folk duo Red Heart the Ticker to the Auger Down family. Auger Down will release their new album, Oh My! Mountains Below on May 26th. For those of you who don’t know them, RHTT is the musical home of husband and wife duo Tyler Gibbons and Robin MacArthur. Oh My! Mountains Below picks up where 2006’s For the Wicked left off, with more beautiful and literate folk and ethereal Americana from the north woods. You can read more about them on their new AD site here.

Trading in the Badge…

February 26th, 2007

After many months of touring, a lot of bad Axel Foley jokes, and countless people saying “dark side of the what?” when we told them our band name, Dark Side of the Cop is retiring. We had a good run. We’ll still be making new music but it won’t synch up to anything and there will be no more hidden Mikey Tandino references. Roger and Marco will be making new music under the name Fior Fiero, and we’ll be putting out a new EP on Auger Down this spring. We’d like to thank Ty, Joe, Claire and everyone else who worked on DSOTC and especially everyone that came to see us play.
