About Slim Cessna's Auto Club
Slim Cessna's Auto Club is an American country rock band from Denver, Colorado. Formed in 1992, the band is known for lyrics which describe apocalyptic and religious imagery.
The sole constant in this band is Slim Cessna. SCAC was born from the break-up of The Denver Gentlemen – a band that included both David Eugene Edwards and Jeffery-Paul Norlander of 16 Horsepower.
The name "Slim Cessna's Auto Club" originally came about as a tribute to Cessna's friend who had a car collection:
"Several years ago, before the band even started, when I was just singing and playing guitar with my friends, there was this friend of mine who had a whole bunch of cars. His name was John, and he had all of these cars. And they weren't cool cars; they were old, junky cars, but he had about fifteen of them. So we started calling ourselves San Juan's Car Club, as a tribute to him. Over time, it mutated a few times, and it ended up as the Auto Club. I'm not sure why. I think we were trying to play off of the idea of low-rider car clubs, imagining a club like that, but with our friend's old beat-up cars instead of cool cars."
Slim Cessna's Auto Club is the debut studio album of the band. It was self-released in 1995, then re-released by Alternative Tentacles in 2001.
American Country Music Changed Her Life is the first live album recorded by SCAC. It was self-released in 1998 and is currently out of print.
