This fall’s Soul Coughing Play The Songs Of Soul Coughing was met with critical applause and unprecedented popular demand that saw a number of dates upgraded to larger venues. “The songs sounded as forward-thinking as they did in the ’90s,” declared Variety of the tour’s opening night performance at a sold-out Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA. “For those that care, every one of these shows…just might be one of the best nights ever.” “Soul Coughing, in a word, delivered,” wrote Glide. “The 21-song setlist digs deep into the band’s short-lived yet fruitful career as they fearlessly bounced between their three releases, touching on hits and B-sides alike.” Perhaps Philadelphia, PA’s WXPN said it best: “It was a moment that truly felt special to witness, experiencing the performance of a band that no one believed would ever reunite on stage… a niche moment in music history.”

Soul Coughing further marked the reunion with their first late-night TV appearance since 1998, offering up a celebratory performance of their classic “Super Bon Bon” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! that prompted Stereogum to enthuse, “Soul Coughing were fully locked-in… all these years later, absolutely nobody sounds like them, and their form of musical chemistry is so specific.”
