Thursday music corner: Soul Coughing are an American alternative rock band that achieved critical success from 1992 until its dissolution in 2000. Formed by four regular attendees at the Knitting Factory performance venue in New York, the band was led by the Factory's doorman Mike Doughty. Soul Coughing released three albums on Slash Records, with increasing cult popularity. Three of the band's singles reached the US Alternative top 40 chart.
The hypnotic sample-driven beat poetry of Screenwriters' Blues appeared on the band's first album, Ruby Vroom (1994) - the album name being a mispronunciation of Ruby Froom, the daughter of record producer Mitchell Froom and singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega. Soul Coughing re-formed for a short reunion tour in late 2024 for the 30th anniversary of Ruby Vroom.
