SPONGE makes their debut at Virginia Street Brewhouse in Reno Nevada! Sponge is an American Rock band formed in Detroit in 1992. Their discography includes nine studio albums, four live albums, and several top ten singles. They have proven to be one of the Motor City's heaviest hitters after gaining international notoriety with their debut album "Rotting Pinata" (Sony). With hits like "Plowed" and "Molly (16 Candles)", the album went "Gold" and ultimately Platinum status. Sponge's follow up album, the critically lauded "Wax Ecstatic" (Columbia), scored additional Top Ten Billboard hits including "Wax Ecstatic" and "Have You Seen Mary"
Sponge's subsequent releases "New Pop Sunday, For All The Drugs In The World, The Man, Galore Galore, and Destroy The Boy" showcased the band's swirling sonic attack. Rooted in the Motor City influences of The Stooges and MC5, the band still brought an original vibe which sounded like no one else. The band's music was also featured in popular movies like 'The Craft, Chasing Amy, Mall Rats, Empire Records and Chasing Mavericks. Sponge's star continued to rise with network appearances on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "The Conan Show"
