11:49 PM - Slim Cessna's Auto Club | Not going to Austin (PART 2)
Slim Cessna's Auto Club don't need to go to Austin. Sure, Texas might sound right, especially considering they've been called "the country band that plays the bar at the end of the world" (Jello Biafra - whose label, Alternative Tentacles, they record for), but I'm glad they're spending this week here in our part of the country instead. Imagine a group of men possessed. As in fall to the floor, throw your hands up, wild-eyed terror and joy posessed. Then give them instruments (including a banjo played like the most shredful guitar ever) and let them go at it. They'll keep the dancing going all night and by the end you won't be sure if you've just given your soul to the devil or perhaps been saved - but somehow I guess what it amounts to is a bit of an otherworldly experience. When I saw them play at the South Park Music Fest in Fairplay, Colorado (Sim Cessna's hometown - they were sort of the stars of the festival) I had never heard them before and didn't know what I was in for. By the end of their nearly 2 hour set I was fully converted and ready to hear whatever Slim and his cohorts (including the impossibly talented Denver scene mainstay Munly, who opened for MiG later that night) had to throw at me. If you're still in NYC, come out to the Mercury Lounge tonight to see Slim Cessna's Auto Club for yourself - with them will be Scourge of the Sea, My Summer, and Magic Cyclops. They'll also be at Europa in Brooklyn tomorrow, with Magic Cyclops again. Slim Cessna's Auto Club - "This is how we do things in the country" Continuing on, here's what's up in NYC for tomorrow...
