Tim DeLaughter

As a teenager, DeLaughter played in various Duncanville bands as a drummer. However, he was poor at the instrument and began teaching himself to sing and play guitar. He formed Tripping Daisy in 1990, which disbanded in 1999 following the death of guitarist Wes Berggren. The next year, DeLaughter formed The Polyphonic Spree. The Boston Globe's Joan Anderman described him as "sounding like Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips starring in a stoner production of Godspell". ==Personal life==

DeLaughter has no siblings and his parents divorced when he was a child. His grandfather was a Southern Baptist preacher. Their fourth child was born in December 2006. Doyle is also a member of The Polyphonic Spree. ==References==
