Part of Denver’s thriving Americana scene, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club has been cranking out riotous country jams since the early 1990s and winning the love of people not generally prone to hoe-downs. Jello Biafra, whose Alternative Tentacles label has released a Slim Cessna album or two, said, “"This is the country band that plays the bar at the end of the world."
Here’s my preview of the show in Philadelophia this week.
Slim Cessna’s Auto Club
Mon., Oct. 15, 9pm. $10. With Jack Ohly. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 Frankford Ave. 215.739.9684. www.johnnybrendas.com
Tall, cadaverous Slim Cessna insists there’s nothing alt about his brand of country. His apocalyptic hoedowns may be pushed to punk rock speeds, they may have a tumultuous rock ’n’ roll intensity, but they’re not—repeat not—meant as irony. So button up your shirt right to the collar and take a rackety ride through his darkening rural landscapes. This is how we do things in the country, says Slim, which is to say: fast, hard, rollicking and haunted by the faint smell of death. (Jennifer Kelly)
