Artist Biography
by Zac Johnson
P.W. Long first surfaced as the vocalist for the Michigan-based
Wig (appearing only on the 7"
Just Obscene and the indie release
Lying Next to You), billing himself as
Preston Cleveland. After the single's release in 1991,
Long left to form the disastrously named Nigger Lover, eventually changing the name to
N.L. Mule before finally deciding on the more succinct
Mule. Backed by Kevin Munro and
Jim Kimball, veterans of Ann Arbor's
Laughing Hyenas,
Mule's eponymous debut was released on Quarterstick Records in 1992, followed by the
Wrung EP and the
Steve Albini-produced
If I Don't Six, both released in 1994.
After abandoning a short-lived tour as an acoustic artist,
Long recruited bassist
Dan Maister and former
Jesus Lizard drummer
Mac McNeilly, recording 1997's
We Didn't See You on Sunday under the name
P.W. Long's Reelfoot. He recorded another album with this lineup (1998's
Push Me Again) before dissolving the band and laying relatively low for a few years. A performance at the
Shellac-curated All Tomorrow's Parties in England in 2001 was
Long's only major public appearance until the tour for his 2003 album,
Remembered (released under the simplified moniker
P.W. Long).
