DBUK, which was originally called Denver Broncos UK, was formed ten years ago as a trio featuring Auto Club members Cessna, Jay Munly and Lord Dwight Pentacost, who were all living in different states at the time. Cessna says they started recording ideas and sending them to each other, with some of the original recordings done on a four-track recorder.
“It’s a different experience,” says Slim Cessna of DBUK. “It’s actually quite challenging for me. I’m only speaking for myself, because there’s a lot of concentration. The Auto Club is a rock band, and when you mess up, it’s kind of fun. It’s part of…everyone’s drinking and whatever. With DBUK, it’s very intimate and honest, quiet and lovely. It’s nice to be able to do both of those things.”
