About us

The Autos are not a band as much as they are a production environment. Led by Founder & Producer of Tatanka, Ian Gastl. Ian is joined by multi-instrumentalists Pancho Tranmer, Taylor Kaufman and former Founder & Producer of The Destinators, Liam Farrell. Embracing the collaboration culture of 1970’s Reggae, The Autos are constantly working with new players and artists to maintain a fresh sound.

The group has worked to create tracks like “Trespass,” featuring Elliot Martin of John Brown’s Body and “Light My Way,” featuring Royal Blu and Grammy winning Kabaka Pyramid. The Autos have started backing artists at shows and festivals across the country (the most recent being the Rise n’ Vibes Festival in Aztec, NM, alongside Royal Blu).
