Soul Coughing is an American alternative rock band composed of vocalist/guitarist Mike Doughty (also known as M. Doughty), keyboardist/sampler Mark Degli Antoni, bassist Sebastian Steinberg, and drummer Yuval Gabay. They developed a devout fanbase and garnered largely positive response from critics. Steve Huey of AllMusic described the band as "One of the most unique cult bands of the '90s...Driven by frontman M. Doughty's stream-of-consciousness poetry, Soul Coughing's sound was a willfully idiosyncratic mix of improvisational jazz grooves, oddball samples, hip hop, electronics, and noisy experimentalism".[1] Doughty described the band's sound as "deep slacker jazz".[2] The group broke up in 2000.[1][3]
In June 2024, the group announced it would reunite for a United States tour in September and October of the same year.[4] It made its first television appearance in decades on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[5]
