About Sponge
Sponge is an alternative rock band from Detroit, MI, formed in 1991.
Sponge formed in Detroit in 1991, with singer Vinnie Dombrowski joining brothers Mike and Joey Cross, who had played together in the band Loudhouse. Their 1994 debut, Rotting Piñata, produced both of their best-known songs and became a fixture of mid-decade rock radio.
The 1996 follow-up, Wax Ecstatic, leaned toward glam and included "Have You Seen Mary". The line-up has changed many times over the years, with Dombrowski's raspy voice as the constant, and the band still plays the Rotting Piñata songs as the core of its shows.
