Service for Mueller, Soul Asylum bassist, set for Wednesday

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A memorial service for the late Soul Asylum bassist Karl Mueller is scheduled for Wednesday in Minneapolis.

Mueller, 41, was a founding member of Soul Asylum, one of the most successful rock bands to come out of the Twin Cities. He suffered from throat cancer and died Friday morning at his Minneapolis home.

The service will be held at Lakewood Cemetery Chapel.

Mueller, Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy started the band Loud Fast Rules in 1981, which evolved into Soul Asylum in 1984.

The quartet is best known for its 1992 bestseller "Grave Dancers Union" and the hit "Runaway Train." The group completed another album with Mueller this year, and the band has been negotiating with a major label to release the CD.
