This period marked a shift from casual local garage jams to engagement with the emerging music underground, where he began structured group collaborations and initial songwriting efforts through improvisation, blending lyrics, melody, and music. DeLaughter's exposure to 1970s pop and influences during these years laid the groundwork for his developing interest in neo-psychedelic sounds, evident in his energetic performances and creative approaches. By the end of the decade, around 1989, these experiences bridged his amateur roots toward more professional commitments in the alternative scene.

Tripping Daisy

The venture emphasized community engagement through in-store performances and events, hosting early shows by artists such as The Shins, Queens of the Stone Age, Peaches, and Erykah Badu, which helped foster a dedicated local audience despite challenges like low profit margins and competition from larger retailers.
