Soul Asylum 2015

Dave Pirner [vocals/guitar], Dan Murphy [guitar], Karl Mueller [bass], Grant Young [drums] formed alt-rock band Soul Asylum in Minneapolis, Minn. in 1883. After three album releases, Soul Asylum scored with triple-platinum album Grave Dancers Union in 1992 with the Grammy-winning song “Runaway Train.” The next year the band played the Bill Clinton inauguration.

Karl Mueller died of cancer a decade ago in 2015. Only Dave Pirner remains in the original line-up. There aren’t many bands who stay together from formation to retirement are there?
