Career
Originally the bassist for the London based rock band Jesus Jones,[2] Doughty later became the bassist for Jon Langford's band Skull Orchard,[3][4] the Waco Brothers,[5] and Dean Schlabowske's band Dollar Store.[6] Of his unorthodox bass style, Doughty said, "It's all nervous energy. I really have no idea where I'm going next with something. I don't know anything about theory. It's all new to me every time I play".[7]
Personal life
Doughty attended Beechen Cliff School in Bath, Somerset, England between 1977 and 1982. He is currently based in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, United States with his wife.
