1) Two-thirds of Mule, Jim Kimball and Kevin Munro (formerly Kevin Strickland) was made up of ex-members of the Laughing Hyenas. The other third, a former member of Wig, P.W. Long (born Preston Cleveland), was a blood relative to the Hyenas front man, John Brannon (Negative Approach). Mule began in 1991 in Detroit. Like the Hyenas, Mule played swampy Southern tinged backwoods rock, but with somewhat more of an affinity for traditional country--“hillbilly punk,” if you will.
