Friday, April 25th, was a drizzly night. Lines of eager concert goers stretched down Water Street in Rochester, NY and spilled into The Hall’s entrances. The venue filled quickly as the crowd formed a dense mass. There were no opening acts for American alternative rock band Soul Coughing. Just original members Mike Doughty, Mark degli Antoni, Yuval Gabay and Sebastian Steinberg on their twenty fifth anniversary tour.
Originated in New York City, Soul Coughing came onto the scene in 1992 and has sustained time with a large cult following. A band known for its stream of conscious lyrics and experimental funk grooves mixed with sampled beats. The band rose to fame with hit singles like Down To This (1994), Super Bon Bon (1996), and Circles (1998). The bank broke up in the year 2000 and reunited after a twenty four year hiatus announcing their twenty fifth anniversary / reunion tour. So you can say that this concert was history in the making and a night many will not soon forget.
