Soul Coughing Upgrades Select Venues On Reunion Tour

Soul Coughing is back and the fans are here for it. In response to demand, the alternative rock band has upgraded a handful of venues on its reunion tour along with adding a second at the opening stop at Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern.

After posted a video of a billboard with Soul Coughing’s cartoon monkey-bear (featured on its third and final album, El Oso) on June 18 via Instagram that simply declared “We Said It Would Never Happen’ along with a reference to SoulCoughing.com, by June 20 the band confirmed it was reuniting for a coast-to-coast tour. 

“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,” the band said in a statement. “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.”

An instagram post on Friday, June 28 noted that 12 of the 18 concerts had already sold out, with “low tix” alerts for the remaining six dates.  

The band’s Minneapolis’ First Avenue show was moved to Palace Theatre, Chicago’s Vic Theatre show was moved to Riviera Theatre, Boston’s Royale show was moved to Roadrunner, and Philadelphia’s Philly Union moved to Franklin Music Hall. Tickets purchased for the original venues will be honored at the new buildings.  

Soul Coughing disbanded in 2000, a few years after the release of El Oso. The last records submitted to Pollstar Boxoffice for the band was two shows at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., Aug. 11-12, 1999, that sold 1,944 tickets and grossed $38,880.
