Soul Coughing are reuniting for an American tour! The band will share the stage together for the first time in 25 years. The tour includes a stop at The Bellwether in Los Angeles, California on Friday, September 13.
They said it would never happen, but Soul Coughing, one of the most unique and influential bands of the last four decades, is returning to the stage fully-formed for the first time in 25 years. All four original members, Mike Doughty, Sebastian Steinberg, Mark degli Antoni and Yuval Gabay will be performing from coast to coast this September and October. Each exclusive performance will feature songs from their legendary catalog– El Oso, Irresistible Bliss and their genre-defining debut album Ruby Vroom which celebrates its 30th anniversary this fall.
The tour kicks off on September 11 in San Diego, CA and concludes with a two-night celebration on October 4 and 5 in Brooklyn, NY. The 17-date tour includes stops in cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Pittsburgh, and more. No supporting guests have been announced as of yet.
Mike Doughty (vocals/guitar), Mark degli Antoni (keyboards/sampler), Sebastian Steinberg (bass), and Yuval Gabay (drums) formed Soul Coughing in 1992 after meeting at New York’s Knitting Factory, where Doughty worked the door. A truly eclectic collection of musicians, the guys merged drum & bass, trance, rock & roll, and hip-hop to create a totally unique strain of music. As Doughty says: “Our music didn’t fit into the landscape then and it doesn’t now. We were super incorrect. We were messy. We were all over the place. There were moments in our career where we tried to be less different, and we always failed.” Despite continuously stating that they will never reunite, the band has finally changed their band and will be heading out on a full US tour this fall.
