Soul Coughing was an alternative rock band with hip hop and electronic influences active from 1992 to 2000.

The band consisted of Mike Doughty on vocals and guitar, Mark de Gli Antoni on keyboard, Sebastian Steinberg on bass, and Yuval Gabay on drums.

Soul Coughing signed with Slash Records, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Records less than a year after the bands formation.

All of Soul Coughing’s members were regulars at The Knitting Factory in New York City, a nightclub and performance venue that was a part of the downtown scene of the 80’s and 90’s.

Soul Coughing released 3 studio albums between 1994 and 1998; Ruby Vroom (1994), Irresistible Bliss (1996), and El Oso (1998), all certified gold. Following the bands breakup in early 2000 due to internal conflicts, a greatest hits album (Lust in Phaze) was released in 2002.
