Slim Cessna's Auto Club, often abbreviated as SCAC, is an American band hailing from Denver, Colorado, renowned for their unique blend of country, gothic, rock, and a fervent evangelical aesthetic. The band was formed in 1992 by its namesake, Slim Cessna, a charismatic frontman known for his intense stage presence and profound storytelling skills. Alongside Munly Munly, the multi-talented musician and co-songwriter, the group cultivated a fervid following with their theatrical performances and spiritually-charged lyrics that often explore themes of sin, redemption, and the human condition.

The band's discography is rich with albums that defy conventional genres, weaving a sonic tapestry that deftly incorporates elements of punk, folk, and Americana. Releases like "The Commandments According To SCAC" (2016) and "Unentitled" (2011) showcase their ability to craft songs that are at once haunting and toe-tapping, marked by intricate musicianship and narrative depth. "SCAC 102 An Introduction for Young and Old Europe" (2015), a compilation, serves as a primer to the uninitiated and a treasure trove for devoted fans, emblematic of their vigorous European following. Earlier works such as "Cipher" (2008) and "Always Say Please And Thank You" (2000) are testament to the band's enduring appeal and continual evolution, securing Slim Cessna's Auto Club a hallowed place in the annals of alternative Americana music.
