After a quarter of a century apart, Soul Coughing has regrouped and hit the road with a reunion tour that touched down at The Fillmore in San Francisco.
Drummer Yuval Gabay and vocalist-guitarist Mike Doughty perform with Soul Coughing at The Fillmore in San Francisco on April 14, 2024 .“I just want you to know that you are literally the most attractive people we have ever seen in our lives,” the Soul Coughing front man said. “You freak me out — too beautiful.”
The whole thing felt so natural and, well, necessary that it left one wondering how it could’ve possibly taken them 25 years to get this show back on the road. Sure, the New York City outfit parted acrimonious terms in 2000, after putting out three highly enjoyable records during a five-year span, but other acts have certainly buried the hatchet much quicker than this when there was a pay involved.
“Get on to the bus that’s gonna take you back to Beelzebub,” he sang. “Get on to the bus that’s gonna make you stop going rub-a-dub.”The Soul Coughing songbook is littered with those type of oddities — this is probably a good place to mention that that same song ends with Doughty just repeating “Yellow No. 5” over and over again. Yet, he gets away with those lines — in part, due to his deadpan delivery, but, probably more so, because he often wears cool Beat poetry/jazz cafe hats.
