He replaced Stan Ridgway as the lead singer of Wall of Voodoo after Ridgway left the band in 1983. Seven Days In Sammystown was the first Wall of Voodoo album featuring Prieboy. This was followed up by Happy Planet and finally Ugly Americans in Australia, which was a live album they recorded to fulfill their recording obligations to IRS Records. After leaving Wall of Voodoo, Prieboy signed with MCA Records as a songwriter and went to work on new material for his first solo record ...Upon My Wicked Son, which featured the song "Tomorrow Wendy," about a woman dying of AIDS. The song featured a duet with Johnette Napolitano, whose band Concrete Blonde also recorded the song and released it on their album Bloodletting the same year. It was also covered by the industrial project System Syn in early 2000s. Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris covered his song "Loving the Highway Man" from the same album. Prieboy then released an EP called Montezuma Was a Man of Faith which featured a Country rendition of Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, featuring an uncredited Johnette Napolitano from Concrete Blonde. Prieboy's second solo album was entitled Sins of Our Fathers.
