Hailing from Detroit,
Sponge gained widespread notoriety with their debut album "Rotting Piñata,”
released in August 1994. Hits like "Plowed" and "Molly (16 Candles)" fueled
massive airplay on radio stations from coast to coast and were in heavy rotation
on MTV in the late 90's. After "Rotting Piñata" went Gold, the band toured
internationally, and followed up with the critically lauded CD “Wax Ecstatic,”
garnering additional hits "Wax Ecstatic" and "Have You Seen Mary?”

Dedicated road warriors,
Sponge continue to tour the country, wowing audiences with their no holds barred
live performance.
Sponge will have copies of
their latest CDs “Rotting Alive,” and “Deep Cuts Live,” plus limited edition
