Performing their first hometown show in over 25 years, Soul Coughing, headlined Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY on Friday, October 4, 2024. In 1998, I saw the band perform “Circles” at a taping of “Late Show with David Letterman” during my freshman year at Fordham University but didn’t have the chance to see them do a full set as they disbanded in 2000.

The band previously declared a reunion would never happen but luckily for their fans, that sentiment changed.

I covered the show for Bowery Presents’ “The House List” and the full gallery is now available on their website here. Soul Coughing performed two back to back nights at Brooklyn Steel and did a third show at Terminal 5, which marked the end of their reunion tour run.
