Sponge

After two top 10 hit singles, several tours and live television performances, including the Jon Stewart Show and Late Night with David Letterman, Sponge followed up their debut with 1996s Wax Ecstatic. This sophomore effort garnered a Song Of The Year nod from Rolling Stone Magazine for title track Wax Ecstatic. The album also yielded two additional top 10 hit singles and featured a guest vocal appearance from Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs on the song I Am Anastasia.

Though continually led by Vinnie Dombroski, Sponges lead singer and chief songwriter, the band has seen a few line-up changes over the course of its 30+ year career. Sponge currently features: Andy Patalan (guitar, vocals) and his brother Tim Patalan (bass). The Patalan brothers were a natural addition to the band, having previously engineered and produced the first three Sponge records at their studio, The Loft, in Saline, Michigan.

They are best known for their prominent 1994 hit single Plowed (#5 on Billboard Alt Rock) as well as the 1995 hit Molly (16 Candles) (#3 on Billboard Alt Rock), the 1996 hit Wax Ecstatic (#10 on Billboard Mainstream Rock) and 1997s hit Have You Seen Mary(#7 on Billboard Mainstream Rock) respectively. Proudly representing the city of Detroit, Sponge takes their well earned place as a part of Rock-N-Rolls lengthy musical history.
